The result was delete. The first point to be made is that no commentator has argued that this band merits a standalone article. Two editors are suggesting a 'merge'. However, no material that would merit merging is reliably sourced. Merging, as one editor suggested, in the hope that sources might be discovered at some point in the future, is not a valid way to go. I would add, in passing, that the suggested target article is, itself, wholly unsourced. Turning now to the deleters; I have not accepted the comment "Too hard to fix up" as this is not a valid deletion ground. This leaves us with the nominator and one other user who both argue that the subject fails notability requirements. This is a valid statement and I therefore find the proposal to delete as the most persuasive argument. TerriersFan (talk) 21:49, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

A State of Mind (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The band lacks coverage in reliable third-party sources. The band fails the notability guidelines and the article was tagged for notability since September 2010. B music  ian  05:21, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete No indication of wp:notability.  Has only on "reference" which really isn't one. Ability to meet wp:notability looks unlikely. North8000 (talk) 22:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment May meet section six. Robbie Holland, their vocalist, appears to be notable. Unfortunately, due to the common names of the band members, finding reliable sources about them will be difficulty (Google keeps turning up Facebook profiles of people with the same name). More research needs to be done before deleting. 143.92.1.32 (talk) 00:25, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment Maybe merge with Sadistic Exploits, as they shared the same vocalist. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:23, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Too hard to fix up. Move on to the next problem. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:13, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge to Sadistic Exploits as related project, per WP:BAND. Bearing in mind the age of the band, there may be printed sources available. Retaining the history by redirecting after merging will easily permit editors to view previous content and evaluate in connection with sources yet to be found. -- Trevj (talk) 14:52, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
