City of Caterpillar

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails to meet notability requirements. Band does not meet any of the criteria listed on Notability (music) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoponpop69 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 15 March 2007
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete Not notable. --Evergreens78 19:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:MUSIC. Criteria #5 reads "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such."  This band contains members from at least two other bands that have articles and seem to be notable themselves.  A redirect couldn't be set up since this third band has members of at least two others.  Dismas |(talk) 19:58, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Re-direct or delete The only noteable band that shares members with this band is Darkest Hour (band), and as to what extent they are related is not said. Can you fill us in on how the two bands are related?Hoponpop69 23:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The article states "City of Caterpillar shared band members with pg. 99, Darkest Hour..." Both of those have articles, although the first now has a prod notice on it that it didn't have the other day.  Dismas |(talk) 00:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * So is this band a precursor or sid eproject to Darkest Hour? Or did they just happen to have one member in common? If the latter is true I think this should be deleted.Hoponpop69 04:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This time from the Darkest Hour page, "City of Caterpillar - Richmond, VA screamo band that Ryan Parrish was in before joining Darkest Hour." I don't know anything about these bands other than what is in the articles.  I'm not sure why I keep having to give you facts that are already here.  Dismas |(talk) 04:09, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep - matches the notability criteria for independent sources  , frequently cited as influential, and yes, it's a sketchy criterion, but high number of search hits as well.  --notJackhorkheimer (talk / contribs) 05:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep for reasons given above. Recury 13:12, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This band was also signed to a notable independent label Level Plane. They were also influential within their given genre. If this band is up for deletion then surely most other band articles about Level Plane groups should also be as they are one of the more prominent groups who have been signed to the label. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stephenmthomas (talk • contribs) 21:49, 20 March 2007 (UTC).
 * Keep They're an important band for the current indie music scene and there's their relationship with Level Plane, a massively important label. This is another case of the culturally ignorant trawling Wikipedia for articles to delete based on a criteria set that de-emphasises the importance of independent artists. 82.31.6.23 06:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
