Flatlander (band)
The result was   Speedy delete by Jimfbleak as blatant advertising/being non-notable. (non-admin closure) Cunard (talk) 07:33, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously speedied twice, under G11 (spam) and A7 (nn group). Vague assertions of notability ("according to critics") but no specific citations despite several requests. The best we've had is assurances that they've featured in the Seven Days newspaper (I can't find anything substantial on the website, just contact and gig listings) and The Radiator radio station, but no specific details for either. As it stands, the article seems to fail WP:MUSIC. — Matt Eason (Talk &#149; Contribs) 22:40, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just a note - there's some discussion on my talk, the author's talk and User talk:Justinfr — Matt Eason (Talk &#149; Contribs) 22:47, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, lacks reliable sources to back up their claims. I've looked but could find any. Possible Speedy G4 "Recreation of deleted material". Maybe a little Salt too. Article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:39, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * G4 doesn't apply to articles which have only been speedied in the past; I considered tagging it as G11 again (the restored version was identical to the deleted version), but since it's being contested so much I thought AFD was a good idea either to get a consensus for deletion or to encourage the author to add some proper references, if they exist. — Matt Eason (Talk &#149; Contribs) 02:57, 20 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Despite repeated encouragements toward the author, no references have been added to establish notability. And Comment, I removed the non-encyclopedic language, so if notability can be established then at least we've got a start. justinfr (talk) 02:43, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, no source for notability.--Boffob (talk) 04:56, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
