Electric Century

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not a notable band. There's no album out (yet), and the announced EP isn't released by a notable record label. The coverage is minimal; the only thing that really counts as "coverage" is the MTV story--a few hundred words, and most of it quotes from Way. Drmies (talk) 16:14, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete as not notable, unless someone can find more good sources. There's a few brief news stories along the lines of "Electric Century have a single out", and a couple of interviews, but no reviews and not much in depth coverage. You might want to merge to My Chemical Romance since most media coverage focuses on the MCR link, but I'm not 100% that's a good idea, since the connection is not very close.

 * Keep The band features members of two notable bands and a former member from a semi-notable band. The band is also working on a full album and has been covered by the press multiple times. I.Wont.Give.In (talk) 21:36, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The only thing that matters here is the last thing, the coverage by reliable sources. If a few short articles make for notability, we might as well do away with the whole concept of "deletion" altogether. Drmies (talk) 21:20, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to the Mikey Way article (if it stays, which it probably should) or the the MCR article. This is notable enough and has sufficient coverage to be included somewhere even though there isn't a lot to be said at the moment - as well as 2 MTV articles there is print coverage in Rock Sound. I see no reason that we shouldn't at least mention what the members of MCR did after the band split up. --Michig (talk) 06:53, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
 * A couple of articles don't make for notability, Michig. I also see no reason why we shouldn't etc., but there is plenty of room for that in the MCR article. As for Mikey Way, there isn't a single verified biographical fact in his revamped article, so besides saying "afterward he started another band" there just isn't much to say.

 * Delete - Does not meet WP:BAND criteria. Perhaps too soon.--Rpclod (talk) 03:35, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep/Redirect/Merge - I'd like to add to my previous statement by saying if the page does not say (which it should) it should be redirected and partially merged to mikey way. I.Wont.Give.In (talk) 05:13, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Only one !vote per person. If you want to change your prior !vote, please unbold and strike it and then enter the new !vote.  For what its worth, I don't disagree with a re-direct to Mikey Way.--Rpclod (talk) 15:09, 25 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep, appears to meet WP:MUSIC #6. Lankiveil (speak to me) 13:16, 25 July 2015 (UTC).
 * Only one of the members, Mikey Way, is deemed notable enough to have a WP article. The other two hyperlinked member names merely link to other bands.  I don't think WP:MUSIC #6 is met.--Rpclod (talk) 15:09, 25 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge/Redirect: to Mikey Way. The MTV news source will support the content there, the rest of this article is sourced with a blog re-post, brief mentions, itunes and twitter?? Not exactly WP:RS. Vrac (talk) 14:25, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
