Bobot Adrenaline
This was marked for speedy deletion as non-notable band. However this has been disputed on its talk page, so AfD is the apropriate avenue. no vote. Thryduulf 21:09, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: I don't see any reason to delete this. --Hetar 21:14, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: Previous votes and comments reposted from: Talk:Bobot Adrenaline. 'COMMENT - Jaxal1 had added this same request for speedy deletion on Buck (band) and removed it within the same hour due to notability of band and band's accomplishments. After Buck (band) disbanded the guitarist started Bobot Adrenaline.' Madangry 21:15, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sorry, I really wanted to vote keep but I don't see them meeting WP:MUSIC.  [[Image:Monkeyman.png]]Monkeyman(talk) 23:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT-The band's discography from inception until present are mostly releases which also contain their own articles on Wiki and have been deemed as being notable (some had BEEN proposed for deletion but kept by administrators as notable). The band was featured on the most recent Tony Hawk video game as listed on the Wiki article for said game, and the new and not yet released album was produced by the current Guns N Roses bassist. The band might not meet the criteria of mainstream music award winnings or billboard charts, but I do believe these things make it very notable. Madangry 01:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT - Wikipedia should not place "mainstream = notability" constraints on independent music. (Paraphrased from Japanther delete page comments by Howrealisreal) Madangry 22:31, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * KEEP, as per Madangry. --G VOLTT 01:24, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT- Comments by R paraphrased from discussion on the WP:Music talk page: The WP:MUSIC criteria do not mention anywhere that the bands must be national in scope. Many local bands have in fact released albums (crit#3), have been featured in magazines (crit#4) or indeed are among the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (crit #6). Indeed the point of the criteria is to weed out the examples cited such as teenage garage bands, etc. and not in any way those local bands that have been playing for years, have been featured in local music media, and have locally-successful records.

 * Delete, no evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC. Having a myspace page generally implies non-notability. Stifle 09:43, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT-Myspace is retarded, true. But there are notable as well as non-notable bands on that website. Not a very good rule of thumb. Also please read current discussion on [WP: MUSIC] Madangry 16:42, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment- Added discography Madangry 20:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT- Upon further review of the WP:Music, this band does meet:
 * Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable (Buck (band));
 * Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. (By being included in the 'Los Angeles' version of the newest Tony Hawk game as a representative of current LA sounds and having a member from the band Buck who dominated the pop scene in late 90s Los Angeles). And all info is verifiable. Madangry 20:57, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Madangry as per myself previously on the Japanther AfD. --Howrealisreal 01:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
