Anti-Dingus

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The band does not meet notability requirements for WP:MUSIC. They have appeared on one compilation album of unclear notability. There are approximately 46 "unique" results for a Google search of. Contested prod. ... disco spinster   talk  02:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Only assertion of notability is an album to be released later this year which violates WP:NOT.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 02:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wholly unnotable, per WP:MUSIC. It's also a bad sign when the creator of the page states, "I created an article for the band Anti-Dingus. I've known and been a fan of this band for awhile and feel it's time to give them an article."  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 02:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: For Seicer, the above was a typo. It means "I've known OF and been a fan.."

Lifebaka, I did not violate that. It is 100% certain that there will be an EP released by this band in 2008. It's been confirmed on multiple occasions.

I know this is from the author of the article, but someone else who posted on the discussion page says:

"In the introdution to WP:MUSIC you'll notice that the whole system is a rule of thumb. It's a high-quality article, I say let it stay. "

Citing from:

"Important note: Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion. However, an article that fails to assert that the subject of the article is important or significant can be speedily deleted under criterion A7. A mere claim of significance, even if contested, may avoid speedy deletion under A7, requiring a full proposed deletion or Article for Deletion process to determine if the article should be included in Wikipedia.

Many who spend significant time improving Wikipedia's musical coverage feel that notability is required for a musical topic (such as a band or musical theatre group) to deserve an encyclopedia article. Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept. These are merely rules of thumb used by some editors when deciding whether or not to keep an article that is on articles for deletion." Takenforaride77 (talk) 03:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete -- No coverage through all 46 hits (the ones that were not deemed similar to others) aside from MySpace, a site offering show tickets around Allentown PA (where the band seems to have originated), and the promotions group that they work with per the article. No independent sources, and what's available gives no information that the group meets WP:MUSIC guidelines, nor is there anything that demonstrates they will anytime soon.

 * Delete: Many bands "promise" to come out with an album, but even if they always came through (which many don't), WP:MUSIC isn't fulfilled by self-burned CDs. The History section of this article bolsters the premise that this is another teenage garage band.    Ravenswing  12:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, one of countless bands with a couple of songs, a Myspace page, and no assertion of notability. --Stormie (talk) 02:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
