HushPuppies

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

Borderline notability, tending towards delete. This is not about the popular brand of slippers, but rather about a little known French garage band. This article has been listed on the cleanup section of WP:PNT since August.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 15:37, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep, add sources and clean up. The band appears to have two albums out (one of which is sold on Amazon and a bunch of other sites ), and while they're not well-known, a quick Google search got me a couple sites that appear to be possible sources for the article (no guarantee about how good these sites are or whether or not they satisfy WP:RS, as I haven't really looked closely):   &mdash;Politizer talk / contribs 15:48, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment If anyone knows German better than I do, you can take a look at this to see if it's a reliable source.  Linguist At Large  16:24, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It qualifies as a "trivial" source: it mentions HushPuppies only in passing. It is about an event in which HushPuppies was just a side act. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 16:51, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a (tiny) bit more than that--the article says that the German band Auletta has just signed with EMI and has been on tour with French band HushPuppies. Drmies (talk) 04:58, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete: notability not established, as per WP:BAND. JamesBurns (talk) 04:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Borderline notability, but not enough to have both feet on the keep side. -Yupik (talk) 20:52, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:17, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Hush Puppies. The band is not notable, and this is a plausible search term for the shoes.  TJ   Spyke   03:42, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Per User:Blanchardb's comment, it does not appear to be notable.  Un  sch  ool  03:47, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Hush Puppies as a plausible search term. Otherwise, the research done above shows a lack of established notability. MuZemike  ( talk ) 20:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Purely for the reason of the link from the popular and featured article/list List of songs in Guitar Hero World Tour. The band are probably not notable, but iam sure people will still search for them from the link mentioned. Aylesburyape (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 22:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC).
 * Strong Keep. A few minutes searching brought back this Allmusic bio, this review from PopMatters, and several Google News results including this, this, this, and this. According to Allmusic, the band's debut album sold over 20,000 copies and was a hit in France.--Michig (talk) 23:02, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: per Michig. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 01:10, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: per Michig. I have now added some additional references. I'd have thought that Guitar Hero World Tour alone would be enough to meet notability requirements.Tafkam (talk) 21:01, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
