The result was   Withdrawn. Nice amount of improvement given to this what I considered a vaguely notable fictional band. (non-admin closure) treelo  radda  20:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Boyz in the Sink
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article during its five month existence has been prodded, sent off to AfD, redirected, prodded again and during all of this has had nothing introduced besides an NN album tracklist. As before, nothing here or in random searches shows that this band is notable. treelo radda  02:02, 10 July 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * There was previously another AfD in 2007 which did result in deletion, an admins might want to check the content of that article against this one for a possible speedy G4 deletion. treelo  radda  02:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment - The sources found during the Articles for deletion/Boyz in the Sink (VeggieTales) nomination would still seem to apply here, which would establish notability, since notability is not temporary. Rlendog (talk) 20:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Sigh. I'm gonna say weak keep here. Rlendog is right about the notability stuff. I've removed some ORish edits. Crafty (talk) 05:52, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep It's a fictional element that recurrs in a television show. Merging it to Silly Songs with Larry would also work. Jclemens (talk) 06:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, BitS meet four separate criteria of WP:BAND:
 * Criterion 1: Subject of multiple non-trivial published works. Reviews and such exist, and I am just added two to the article.
 * Criterion 4: Concert tour info has been added to the article.
 * Criterion 6: The musicians--even though they're just cartoon characters--involved in the band are notable by virtue of their other cartoon singing exploits, as are, implicitly, Mike Nawrocki and Phil Vischer, who do the voices.
 * Criterion 10: Their performance of the Bellybutton song for The Ballad of Little Joe meets this criterion.
 * Thus, my original keep argument is far weaker than if we simply treat the fictional band as a WP:BAND. Jclemens (talk) 18:50, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - sources are trivial mentions. Those sources could be added to the articles proposed for merge but they are not added as of yet so the current content does not require merging. Savidan 18:02, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, I added several more entries as references. Does that make your !vote a merge, then? Jclemens (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm pleased to see all the work put in to fully establish notability and I'm sufficiently convinced that this band, fictional though it is, to be notable. treelo  radda  20:42, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
