DRUB

 * Delete - This is a non-notable band File Éireann 21:04, 1 December 2005 (UTC)


 * the word drub means to beat with a blunt object, check webster &mdash;preceding unsigned comment by Optimus dime (talk &bull; contribs) 01:13, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
 * they're and indie rock band, check what indie means...just because you havn't heard of them doesn't give you the right to delete their page. (Optimus dime)
 * Don't Delete They may not be very popular but they are a great hope for the future. An abundance of love  and  talent are apparent in their music. they definately deserve a place in  history  and in        many music lover's hearts. &mdash; preceding unsigned comment by 69.223.61.61 (talk &bull; contribs) 02:02, 02 December 2005 (UTC) )
 * - vote in brackets as user ineligible to vote - this vote is his/her first ever contribution to wikipedia--File Éireann 15:21, 5 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Is that an actual rule now? I thought it was discretionary. Zordrac  (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 09:09, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - nn band existing only for a few months, no further background on them, not attempt to establish notability (apart from their first indie CD planned for a 2006 release). The addition of a dictionary item to the article appears to be a desperate attempt to save the article from deletion. B.Wind 00:58, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * what is wrong with having this on here? you have an article on yourself, and that is useless space at least music is cool &mdash;preceding unsigned comment by Optimus dime (talk &bull; contribs) 03:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Don't Delete - There's no reason to delete, The band exists, it's facts and information. As long as the article is based on fact, I see no reason for deletion. Wikipedia is all about the easy access and spreading of information, if a person wants to become more knowledgeable  about the word drub or the band drub they should be able to by the means of wikipedia. Deleting this article just promotes the suppression of knowledge which wikipedia is not about.  ZOMBIEMASTER8825 22:21, 3 December 2005
 * Delete per nominator. Stifle 23:14, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment: Optimus dime blanked the list of votes during the process. Stifle 23:14, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - I already voted delete on this previously but somehow it was removed from the page (possible vandalism) so I am voting delete again, this time doubly much! Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy  Darwikinian Eventualist 03:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * dont' delete* i only deleted that one guy because "their site crashed" is not a real reason to delete the page(i put back everyone eles's posts) Optimus dime
 * This vote is invalid as the user has never contributed to Wikipedia except to this vote. Sorry, Optimus, I'm sure your future contributions to Wikipedia will be much better.--File Éireann 20:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC) Vote reinstated, thank you!--File Éireann 02:02, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

*Don't Delete - article is informative, looks like the only reason to delete is in spite, File Éireann is acting childish and spiteful it looks like in my eyes Votes by unregistered users not allowed--File Éireann 02:02, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

my vote doesnt count?....ok fine but to let you know i'm the one who wrote the article...i should have a say in this. and thank you to whoever wrote the last comment. and im sorry if i ever seemed childish Optimus dime
 * Okay, you should have stated you wrote the article to be allowed a vote, I think we will allow your vote to stand. It's not very nice calling me spiteful, though . I'm only implementing wikipedia policies. Anonymous votes are not allowed. Neither are votes by people who have never contributed to wikipedia. It appears you do not fall into that category so your vote stands. Your article is not a bad one, by the way. It just does not fulfil the criteria for notability accepted by experienced Wikipedians. Good luck and no hard feelings.--File Éireann 01:55, 7 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Strictly speaking, it is not up to the AfD participants to decide which votes will and will not count, but to the closing admin, who has discretion to give less weight (or virtually no weight, in some circumstances) to votes by anons, newly registered users who are likely unfamiliar with the criteria confusion, and article authors who may be biased towards their creations. In short, unregistered users may vote, and closing admins may discount their votes. BD2412  T 18:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * P.S. Delete. No indicia of encyclopedic notability at this time, but good luck getting there in the future! BD2412  T 18:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

its about time someone knows what theyre talking about, i know this will get deleted because my band is not "popular" but were indie....it shouldnt matter. and thank you for the comment. and i didnt call that one guy anything it was by another user Optimus dime
 * Sorry Optimus, I now realise it wasn't you and have struck out my comments. It was actually me who asked BD2412 for advice. I'm still quite new to this role but am learning fast. Good luck with your band! Hang around wikipedia and edit some more!--File Éireann 20:01, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
