DICE (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

NN band, fails the GNG and WP:BAND. No substantive coverage in reliable sources found. Notability tagged for over a decade. Created and built upon by a SPA for whom this is the sole Wikipedia activity (and, startlingly enough, stretched over eleven years, which leads to wondering about COI). (And before anyone asks, this is a mirror image of the article on the German Wikipedia, which is likewise source-free.)   Ravenswing     06:19, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I dumped an incomplete list of links on Talk:DICE (band). I will take some time to integrate some into the article if the article isn't doomed to begin with, which I find difficult to determine. I'd also like to say that I'd rather see this discussion happening on dewiki first, because dewiki users will have an easier time examining the sources. - Alexis Jazz 06:37, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
 * (blinks) Err ... the other national Wikipedias tend to their own gardens, and more to the point, each have their own notions of notability.  That being said, sorry: if eleven years was not enough to come up with reliable, independent sources satisfying the GNG and NBAND, and seven days of deletion discussion here is not enough to come up with reliable sources satisfying the GNG and NBAND, then that is really rather a clear sign that either no one cares enough to bother and/or the subject just does not qualify for an article on Wikipedia.

 * (blinks) PROD is not a discussion. Sorry but you just sound like a broken record. Repeating your points over and over doesn't make them any more meaningful. If ten years wasn't enough to PROD the article, you've had your chance. Anything that's not done within 10 years doesn't mean nobody cares. Some things actually take longer than 10 years on wiki. Counting numbers of users who care over some period doesn't establish notability. - Alexis Jazz 18:45, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * You're honestly implying that it takes over ten years to source an article? That does say it all, doesn't it.   Ravenswing      18:59, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm sure you've been told, but your attitude does not promote collegiality. And that's putting it mildly. - Alexis Jazz 13:34, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * If "Sorry but you just sound like a broken record" is your notion of displaying civility, well.   Ravenswing     13:56, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
 * This has nothing to do with civility. I don't mind if you want to call me an idiot, it's against local policy, but personally I don't mind. You have asked people for over 14 years not to rant on your talk page, but you don't lead by example. I am just somewhat tired of you bludgeoning me and the discussion over and over and over and over with the same 10 year argument, which per WP:NOTCLEANUP I'm not buying. - Alexis Jazz 15:27, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete- This just doesn't have the independent sources necessary to support an article. Reyk YO! 10:10, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete no evidence of notability. Time lacking sources seems to indicate there aren't any to be found in either language.      <b style="font-family: Verdana; color: #6633FF;">StarM</b> 00:55, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
