Fat Truckers

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

A band that barely scrapes in to WP:BAND on a vague technicality (a part-time member of the band was in another notable band). Only 1 album release that doesn't appear to have charted. Nomination: Non-notable WebHamster 12:41, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. WP:NN and provides no WP:RS. --Evb-wiki 12:48, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - this band has reliable sources and passes the G-test in my eyes .  Ry an P os tl et hw ai te  12:49, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Both links go to pages that refer to the band as parts of larger articles, the first one only gets 1.5 paragraphs, the second one gets a 1 line mention that is shared with another band. Hardly substantial. As for your G test, add -blog and -mp3 to the search string and you're down to 756 hits many of which are referrals to pages that are actually selling the CD e.g. Amazon and CDUniverse or playing their material on internet radio. Not what I'd call substantial coverage. YMMV --WebHamster 14:16, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. I found the article interesting and informative.  I did, however, label it as a stub-- it needs a lot of expansion.  Voyager640 17:40, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. You're right, it just barely meets WP:BAND. But it does meet it. Bullzeye (Ring for Service) 18:14, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment - From WP:BAND "Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted; conversely, meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept.". This last half of the sentence was partly the reason I nominated the article, and as in the nomination, they just barely scraped into meeting WP:BAND. This I believe does not make it a slam dunk.--WebHamster 11:45, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:BAND; notable enough. Album was also released in the US on International DeeJay Gigolo Records—well above the local band level. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Precious Roy (talk • contribs) 09:02, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
