God Bless the American Plague

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

Non-notable album. Poorly written. Fails WP:MUSIC. Ṝέđ ṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ Drop me a line''' 16:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete both this and The American Plague (album). Band article is currently up for afd and is not likely to survive, albums fail WP:MUSIC because band does. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 16:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Hammer nailed it (no pun intended). Neither is notable.  Poorly written isn't a reason, but true.  I wish that every time someone put in a reference to myspace.com, they received an electrical shock.  This would cut down wp:music violations by 90 percent.

 * Look, Pharmboy, I wish every contributor who added poorly written and poorly referenced articles to the pile would get an electric shock! Cause every time someone does, we're all running around discussing and looking for references and all--and that's the author's work. But you do have my blessing re: Myspace...

 * Not everyone is a good author, so the short, poorly written stuff doesn't bother me as bad IF it is a truly notable subject. Then if I go and source it, at least I feel like I did something worthwhile.  (spent two hours sourcing a children's book series last night, and I dont have kids...ugh.)  Hell, I'm not a great author either, I just do what I can when the topic is clearly notable. P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 01:50, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure--but what I'd like to see is the author spend two hours sourcing it! Were they good? I do have kids :) BTW, more importantly, writing well is part of the game--writing poorly (or speaking poorly) is a surefire way of not getting the attention one perhaps deserves. It is also a way of inviting readers to look for notability, and that's an important step. Drmies (talk) 04:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete--boy this is unencyclopedically written and non-notable. Drmies (talk) 01:40, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
