Henry Flynt & The Insurrections

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Band did not even release an material during their existence. Yes, it did include Henry Flynt but an article needs TWO notable members if they failed to chart nationally and his article page explains everything that is in this article. ABriefPassing (talk) 17:44, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

 * KEEP: Rather than delete the article, why don't we develop it further, because Henry Flynt is a well-known figure in philosophy. Give the article a chance to expand or merge it with Flynt's article.  Garagepunk66 (talk) 19:51, 12 December 2015 (UTC)


 * P.S.: I have made a complaint to administration about userABriefPassing I suspect sockpuppetry. Garagepunk66 (talk) 20:42, 12 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge or keep - Henry Flynt is an innovative avant-garde artist. Either merge this info into his page or, if possible, expand the page. If the latter isn't possible I suggest the merger.TheGracefulSlick (talk)|
 * Delete as there hardly even seems to be much to suggest minimal notability. SwisterTwister   talk  03:31, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep mentioned in a number of books as a start,  made a CMJ chart  which implies the band did release something .   Within its limited genre, the group does appear to meet Wikipedia requirements. Collect (talk) 23:29, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Henry Flynt; nothing here that merits a separate article. OhNo itsJamie Talk 01:40, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * More Reasons: Here are more reasons to keep the article.  I have expanded the article.  I have found a good book source and have added a lot of biographical information.  The Insurrections are notable on several counts, one amongst which that their story goes hand-in-hand with the Velvet Underground.  Flynt played with the Velvets Briefly, and Lou Reed gave him his initial guitar lessons.  By the way, the band had two other notable members, Walter De Maria, sculptor, on drums, and jazz musician, Art Murphy organ.  That equals three notable members.

 * Keep passes notable. Additional RS has been added since nom. Three of the members meet GNG --MurderByDeletionism"bang!" 05:05, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Now that I've done the expansion, added new sources, and addressed the fact that there were three notable members in this band, I would say that the article should now be an obvious keeper. The only editor who voted to delete and those that mentioned the possibility of merger (including me) did so before the expansion.  I would say that now, we have only one viable option left.  Deleting should by now be completely out of the question.  Merging should be less tenable at this point.  So, keeping is the obvious choice remaining.  So, please let's do the right thing.  We now have a good solid article here that needs to be here. Garagepunk66 (talk) 06:35, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

Keep. Three notable members, a well sourced article, and tey accomplished far more than say Meg McGuffin. Nice job on the expansion. Legacypac (talk) 08:19, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
