The result was keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. This seems like a rare instance of an article subject whose article has been deleted multiple times, now being seen as notable. I'll remove the "salt" tag since I see a consensus now to Keep this article. Liz Read! Talk! 02:47, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Autostrad (band)

Salt evasion of Autostrad. Sources largely do not contain significant coverage of the band. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:45, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep (and rename to Autostrad). The prior AfD in 2012 was for an article that was apparently entirely unreferenced. Today's article is not, and since 2012, Autostrad has played internationally and received the following significant coverage:
 * There are presumably additional sources available in Arabic -- in fact the article cites some. Jfire (talk) 01:03, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep due to new sources since 12 years ago. Not sure why a speedy deletion tag was added in addition to this discussion. Makeandtoss (talk) 09:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - Articles about this band were deleted or speedy deleted several times from 2009 to 2015 because less-experienced editors did not find reliable sources and did little more than announce that the band existed. However, the article's history since 2015 shows that it has been developed by several more experienced editors. The current version needs some cleanup (several sources are dead) and expansion of the band's history. Note that the band's Arabic WP article has some more sources, and those located by the previous voter will also help. My vote is "weak keep" because they haven't gotten too far beyond tour announcements in the media, but there may be enough for a stub article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
