Hey Mercedes

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

If the band is notable, the article certainly doesn't show it. Unless notability shown, delete. --Nlu (talk) 17:56, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I am also proposing the following related pages for deletion for the same reason:



And, through Nanna, the following articles -- although I admit that this may become unwieldy, and I'd be willing to divide these if it is felt that it's better to divide this:




 * Keep all Braid can be shown to be a notable band, if only by this non-trivial biography on allmusic.com. While I know, understand, and support the idea that a band is not automatically notable simply because they have an entry at allmusic.com, this entry has an extensive review and overview of the band, not simply a discography.  Also, the Braid article shows interviews and reviews by reliable publications, which is the hallmark of Notability.  If for that reason alone, this entire entry should be kept.  If a smaller subset of these article does NOT meet guidelines, that smaller subset should be renominated.  However, Braid is plainly notable.  Even the main entry on this AFD, Hey Mercedes, has some non-trivial coverage, such as here and here and here.  A google search  turns up even more that you can peruse on your own.  --Jayron32. talk . contribs  18:20, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * AfD should only be merged into one entry if the subjects are connected, not merely because there are similar reasons for the AfDs. It is entirely possible that notability will be demonstrated for some of these bands but not for others. Regards, High on a tree (talk) 18:31, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep All and cleanup per Jayron32's research and the fact that Braid are notable. They have have had albums reviewed by Pitchfork Media (one is |here which meets critea 1 of WP:MUSIC, released albums on Polyvinyl Record Co., a notable indie record label (who have released albums by the notable likes of of Montreal, meets 5), and just because a member of a band that you consider NN is a member of Braid, Braid is therefore NN. That's not how WP:MUSIC works. Did you even RESEARCH to see if any of these bands were notable? I do agree that citations and what-have-you should be added to the articles to show notability Doc Strange (talk) 20:49, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep all and cleanup per same as above. In addition, Atkinson is certainly notable since he was the temporary drummer for Saves the Day.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:24, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep All Braid is notable for so many reasons that I am insulted by the fact that deleting all of this is even up for debate. First off if you type Braid into google their biography comes up on the second page. On Lastfm Braid has 32,108 listeners. Their discography and release of a vhs/dvd of their last show and the fact that people cared enough to make these pages should show that Braid and all bands and people related are important --FirebirdWineDisaster (talk) 00:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
