Cat Butt

 * Delete: Non-notable band that has only released one full-length album (according to the article) which doesn't meet the WP:BAND standard of two full-length albums on major labels. No mentions on Amazon.  This one actually was speedy deleted but a second admin overrode that and restored. —Wknight94 (talk) 15:52, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, sigh. They do meet the guideline (such as it is), due to their national tour. I'm the admin who restored it, because it was an inappropriate speedy (WP:BAND is not a criteria for speedy deletion). Leith p 15:59, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Well I'm not an admin so I didn't delete it - clearly someone else should be voting delete here and clearly the speedy appropriateness isn't so clear. WP:BAND is guideline for notability and notability is a criteria for speedy deletion.  There used to be a note that WP:BAND is basically criteria for speedy so I guess admins need to get their stories straight.  —Wknight94 (talk) 16:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: WP:BAND can't be used for speedy. CSD A7 says "an article about a real person, group of people, band or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject". This article asserts significance, even if it's less than what is required by WP:BAND. In the past I mistakenly deleted a small number of articles following WP:BAND and they went to deletion review, so Leithp did the right thing here. Mushroom 16:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. The guideline says "a national concert tour [...] reported in notable and verifiable sources". The article is unsourced, so it can be deleted.
 * Keep. It's not unsourced anymore. Mushroom 16:17, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Cheers, for the record their national tour with L7, is mentioned here. Leith p 16:21, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, the band didn't remain intact until its members were on zimmer frames and swimming in copious amounts of money and platinum albums. They did, however, perform a verifiable national tour, as Leithp states, and were part of a notable record label. Article is sourced and band has respectable google figures.

 * Comment: Well, since it's sourced now and seems to meet WP:BAND with this tour, feel free to close it up. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
