Detroit Party Marching Band

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable band of unstable membership, no albums or at least singles released, doesn't even have its own website. Incarnatus (talk) 18:12, 21 October 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:09, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete no notability presented in article, apparently they show up at events and play unexpectedly, which would seem to confirm non-notability as even garage level bands are able to get official gigs at least. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:13, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The band was invited to play at the Detroit Marathon and at Honk. The band gets lots of other bookings where their appearance is known to the host but not the guests. Try typing "detroit party m" into Google and see what happens. Blame me for writing a poor article, don't blame the band. Detroit Joe (talk) 21:53, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Quickly becoming famous throughout the Midwest, sure to spark imitators. In fact, I hope such an imitator crops up in the Midwestern city the suburb of which I live in. James470 (talk) 02:13, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep The band has been getting more high-profile scheduled gigs as of late (Filmore Detroit and Theatre Bizarre this weekend, Cobo Hall in November), and has been receiving quite a lot of buzz in the Detroit area. This article could be deleted, but it will likely just be put back up again in a few months. The band does have a core group of members that play at every show. This article sits at a crossroads. The Detroit Party Marching Band is more than what the current citations portray it to be, but until more news is published, only so much can be verifiably added to the Wiki article. Let's keep the article up for a while longer, and see what happens. AnArmyOfJuan (talk) 14:00, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Comment. Maybe this was not the best choice for starting to build my deletionist cred. This sounds like a band that is taking a very unconventional approach to fame and in the process is gladdening the heart of a very bad city. So much for me getting on ArbCom.
