A German tribute band that, as far as I can tell, fails WP:MUSIC completely. Yinta ɳ  12:23, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep . A7 removed. At the very least a quick Google news search should have been carried out which brings back among the free results:, , , , , , , , ...and there are loads more subscription/pay-per-view results. I know people get annoyed when WP:BEFORE is pointed out to them, but... --Michig (talk) 14:53, 9 May 2009 (UTC) See also Google Books results, and this from SPIN.--Michig (talk) 15:02, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Please note - There are two AC/DC tribute bands named Hell's Belles, as mentioned in the article. This is the German one, the other one is American. It appears all your links are referring to the American version. (Compare the band member's names in the WP article and those in the articles you linked, for example.) To avoid further confusion I've added German to my rationale above. Yinta ɳ   16:23, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite right - my mistake. Delete this one, but the American tribute band should have an article here. The incoming links to the article appear to be all for the American band. I suppose we should let this run its course before overwriting it with a new article, but if nobody objects I'm prepared to replace it before the AFD term is up.--Michig (talk) 16:58, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I prefer to delete this article first, just to prevent future confusion about which band is which. A clean edit history might be better than one based on a non-notable band with the same name. Yinta ɳ   18:28, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Overwrite as a new article on the American band. I can't find any sources on the German band (and I can read enough German to recognize a non-trivial news source), but the American band of the same name seems notable per Michig's sources.
