Dingoes Ate My Baby
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Second nomination (see first). Fictional band that has not crossed over into real world notability (through releasing real albums or the like, as Spinal Tap did). Possibly merge information into Four Star Mary. Page already exists at the Buffy Wiki, so no need for such an information move. SeizureDog (talk) 02:22, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think that such connections as Oz (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Album, The Bronze, and Four Star Mary establish the notability of this "group" as a fictional band. Some may consider it Buffycruft, but it's certainly notable in the context of the series. Deor (talk) 03:10, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If Four Star Mary is the same as Dingoes Ate My Baby it should be merged/redirected to the former. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 04:24, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Violates the arbcom freeze. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:47, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That doesn't meen it can be speedy kept, all it means is that the AFD will be kept open until the injunction is lifted.  TJ   Spyke   05:37, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I have added the Arbcom warning tag as it would appear that Dingoes Ate My Baby qualify as TV characters, therefore are subject to the current Arbcom freeze. 23skidoo (talk) 15:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Merge - into Four Star Mary.  Esradekan Gibb   "Talk" 04:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Although we won't be able to delete/redirect/merge the actual article because of the Arbcom freeze, we can still discuss it. As such, I'd suggest against simply speedily keeping it.-- TBC !?!  05:17, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The AFD has to be kept open because of that ridiculous ArbCom injunction (which I strongly disagree with), but this article can be deleted after that because they are NN.  TJ   Spyke   05:37, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge selected parts into Four Star Mary, also helping them with notability. The fictional band doesn't seem to be real-world notable, but there are clearly a few tidbits that are worth keeping somewhere on wikipedia. – sgeureka t•c 17:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete as useless fancruft. Has anyone read the definition of encyclopedia lately? • Anakin (talk) 18:23, 28 February 2008 (UTC) Neutral. I changed my mind... • Anakin (talk) 18:37, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * keep The band is covered in a variety of reliable sources some of which are included in the article already. There are others out there as well such as one from the Washington Post (which unfortunately is behind a paywall). JoshuaZ (talk) 04:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
