Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hush Puppy (Australian 'Surf-Rock' Band)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was draftify. I will note that I am doing this somewhat IAR, as the page creator has opted to re-draft the page and continue working on it. Should the draft be moved back to the article space (whether via WP:AFC or by direct move) there is no prejudice against either re-nominating the page or relisting this discussion.

 * Striking this, you only get to !vote once. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:26, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Apologies, was unaware of this rule - thank you. Un-couting vote aside, I'd appreciate having the point made, acknowledged. Thanks. GeorgiaKenn (talk) 13:53, 16 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete as non-notable. Tried to help, to avoid precisely this, but the article creator insists on moving it to the main space, so inevitably here we are. Fails WP:GNG / WP:BAND. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:17, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete changing my !vote based on 's comments. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:04, 16 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Criteria for ensembles - points; 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11 and 12 - are met :)
 * I've worked to the best of my ability to make sure my writing adds value to Wikipedia (as I'm sure you do as well) - I've managed to research my topic enough to find that the criteria is in fact met :) if you may kindly view my citations you'll notice that the points I've stated above are in fact correct in regards to WP:NBAND
 * It also appears as though Wikipedia readers are searching for said topic (evident within page views). GeorgiaKenn (talk) 12:33, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep large percentage of criteria met (prerequisites met stated in my previous comment) GeorgiaKenn (talk) 12:53, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Evidence, please? --DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:05, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Criteria for ensembles - points; 1, 2, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11 and 12 - are found to be met within the article - how may I further prove this? GeorgiaKenn (talk) 13:08, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Okay, let's start with #5, which requires "two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels". The article's 'Discography' section shows two self-produced singles. Can you please explain how that satisfies #5? Or if you don't like #5, feel free to pick any of the other criteria on your list, as long as you clearly demonstrate that it is met, backed up with reliable evidence. Thank you, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 13:21, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * 5 one of the two singles ("Too Cold") appears to be released under 'AWAL'. This track along with two of the members other works has been placed on national radio rotation (#11), to name a few. The citations for these link to abc's triple j (Australia's national alternative music station)... GeorgiaKenn (talk) 13:48, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * it unfortunately appears as though you have not managed to read my article in depth before assuming such - I've discussed my topic and pushed for it as it appears as though it does in fact meet the criteria you've mentioned. GeorgiaKenn (talk) 13:51, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not even going to bother replying. The evidence doesn't stack up, and I'm guessing you know it. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 14:01, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I may move on from this to another article topic - this space is seemingly cut-throat toward female writers. I'm uncomfortable pushing for this article if the general consensus is that I have underlying motives - absolutely heartbreaking... What further evidence would you like me to provide other than what I've cited? GeorgiaKenn (talk) 14:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia readers also viewing/searching my chosen topic. GeorgiaKenn (talk) 13:11, 16 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete, G5 – Suspiciously similar to Special:Permalink/1086176763, and likely Sammanson socking under account "GeorgiaKenn". This is at WP:SPI. Thanks. — 3PPYB6 — T ALK — C ONTRIBS  — 13:15, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Goodness - is it not possible that that is someone else? I'm Georgia K - my article has similar sources due to sharing the artist's already publicly available information. GeorgiaKenn (talk) 13:21, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Hoping this thread will remain publicly available too - shocking GeorgiaKenn (talk) 13:26, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
