Fast track down

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

non-notable band that fails WP:BAND. Article apparently created by the drummer in a conflict of interest. Speedy deletion tag removed by a single purpose account. Resolute 02:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletions.   -- SkierRMH 06:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete per CSD A7, article does not assert the importance or significance of its subject-- TBC Φ  talk?  02:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete per CSD A7. The speedy tag was probably not removed on purpose, as the person left a hangon template there.  I WP:AGF on their part.  But the band clearly does not meet WP:BAND.  Jerry lavoie 02:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Newly registered user Tom crisp removed the tag with his first edit, adding no other. The latest removal was done by the article creator, using the holdon tag to protest another speedy delete tag being added after I created this AfD. Resolute 02:47, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * OIC. I removed the hangon, as it is now AfD. Jerry lavoie 02:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * comment FTD Wikipedia is a free place of user submitted articles and entries of the world. Where as FTD may not be slapped on lunch boxes and on TVs across the globe you can't under estimate the impact of Fast track down on the local area, the inspiration it's providing to fellow musicians and the gradual change to the sectarian attitudes of the local youth and music scene. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benmilnes (talk • contribs)
 * Comment. Unfortunetly, that's incorrect as Wikipedia only includes articles that are both notable and verifiable. -- TBC Φ  talk?  03:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * FTD meets both criteria. Notible in the sence that the band is well known by a large number of people and those people wish to find out more about the band. And Verifiable becuase when I've had some sleep i'll state sorces, reasons, examples etc etc tommorow. I'm not sure anybody but the people of my town or county assosiated have the right to destroy knowledge of the band. may I suggest the persuit of a girlfriend is a far more admerable persuit than systematic search and destroy efforts of the wikiempire. Furthur more I doubt many peoeple would consider you notable or verifiable, that wasnt a cheap dig or pathetic attempt at an internet insult just a fact, in a world of opinions no-one can truly say they are right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benmilnes (talk • contribs)
 * Actually, it meets neither. Please read the guidelines for notability and verifiability.  Consensus has been established regarding which musical acts are deemed notable at WP:BAND.  If you disagree with the criteria, feel free to propose changes at that project page.  If the community agrees with you, the guideline will change.  I would also suggest reading WP:CIVIL as well.

 * Comment. There are very few Wikipedia editors who would assert their own notability. You are right that I am not notable or verifiable, and this is why I have no Wikipedia article devoted to me. As for "destroying knowledge," no one is destroying any knowledge. You wrote the article, and the knowledge in it came from you. You still have it. No one is going to take it away from you. You are free to make the babbling gossip of the air cry out "Fast Track Down!" if you want; you are free to license the text of the article under the GFDL if you want; you are free to create a website entirely devoted to promoting this band if you want. Wikipedia, however, has no obligation to host these efforts. --N Shar 04:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete This article clearly ignores WP:CSD. Telly   addict Editor review! 13:52, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Balikem 18:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, A7 as failing WP:MUSIC. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete Does not assert notability in anyway (aside from playing at a friends 18th birthday). Who needs to persue (sic) a girlfriend when I can fight for the wikiempire (I like that one). --Daniel J. Leivick 01:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable school project, probably fails WP:NFT. No tours, no hits, no write-ups, in short, no nothing. The band fails WP:MUS. There are few clearer cut cases than this. Ohconfucius 07:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
