Hot Water Music

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod; article does not assert notability of band. Recommed Delete. Dchall1 22:15, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:BAND. Major label (Epitaph) and numerous LPs, three of which were on said major label. Adrian   M. H.  22:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, don't forget the relase on Better Youth Organization either. Punkmorten 23:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per above users; rather easily passes WP:BAND. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 00:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Page did not contain an AFD tag. --Sigma 7 03:04, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep definitely, one of the most famous modern punk bands.  Grue   11:27, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * speedy keepDefinitely keep this. Hot Water Music were a really well known punk band. I'm kind of surprised a band like this would be up for deletion. As mentioned before they have put out several releases, some of which were put out on a fairly large record label. Tumble 13:15, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't know anything about punk music, so I'm just going by what the article says. I see no assertions of notability, and the only source is the band's website. If they are notable, would someone please add that to the article? Dchall1 14:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment To unsigned comment: read WP:BAND. A knowledge of guidelines is far more useful than a knowledge of music. Adrian   M. H.  14:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Further Comment Thanks, but I have read the criteria for notability. Nowhere in the text of the article does it assert that this band is notable. Out of the list list of 12 criteria for notability, it may fit under #5 (major label). Again, all I'm asking is if this band is notable, would someone please say so in the article.

 * Comment. The three records listed on Epitaph, the world's biggest independent record label, are an assertion of notability.  tomasz.  09:55, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep. Passes WP:BAND with flying colours.  tomasz.  09:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
