Chaotic Dischord

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A punk band that, unusually for a punk band, set out to shock> Oh, wait, no that's normal isn't it? They had a few minor hits on the indie charts (note: indie charts have much lower sales numbers than the main chart). At least, the article says they did, there are no cited sources for that. There is some stuff out there for a band of this name, but no indication it's the same band. Guy (Help!) 20:33, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. As the creator of the article, I have to ask whether the nominator bothered to read it before bringing it here. Two hit singles and four hit albums on the UK Indie Chart, and yes, the article does cite a very reliable source for those chart placings. All specialist charts have lower sales than the 'main chart' - should we delete articles about artists that have only had hits on the US Country chart or the Modern Rock chart? If you found other 'stuff' about Chaotic Dischord, perhaps you could add it to the article - it seems very unlikely that there's another band with the same name.--Michig (talk) 20:44, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I'm not finding much in the way of sources here, but I'm assuming good faith in the print source for the chart positions. Even if it is "just" the indie charts, it does seem to be a notable singles chart, and thus enough to satisfy criterion #2 of WP:MUSIC. If more sources could be found, I'd go for a full-on keep.

 * Keep per additional source and per the fact that its members were also in another band. Meets multiple criterion of WP:MUSIC, and that's good enough for me. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 21:08, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. The contents of the book can, I think, be found on the Cherry Red website, if anyone thinks I've made the information up - I'll find a URL if required. It's a bit sad if people will trust a published book less than a website. I've added another reference to a review on allmusic. The band was around before the internet age, so much of the coverage will exist in pre-www printed sources. The article states that the band shared several members with another notable band, Vice Squad, which is another pass via WP:BAND, so I'm not really sure why this nomination is here at all.--Michig (talk) 21:02, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - A URL would be good, so you can provide a link to cite at. 'Course, you can just use the book. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 22:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've added the URL.--Michig (talk) 07:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Looks like it's good on notability, but I'd like to see some more sources.  A citation on the last sentence in the intro (which says they've had multiple hits on the charts) would be particularly nice.  --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 22:29, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've added he citation, although it was already there in the discography section, which details the chart positions.--Michig (talk) 07:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm satisfied that it meets WP:MUSIC notability guidelines. --Canley (talk) 23:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
