Interior Decoration (band)
Delete. Not notable per WP:Music. Official website is on MySpace. The article itself states that "They have yet to achieve any success in Iceland, but remain a cult phenomenon amongst young adults in their hometown." (Their hometown has a population of 9,444.) Prod'ded, but tag removed. ... disco spinster   talk  01:50, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment The band really does have a cult following in my hometown. Is there a minimum of people to qualify as a cult in your book? Certainly not in mine. HerbertG 02:05, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Speedy Delete per nom. I think this should have been CSD'd instead. Do you really think that anyone would seek this article out and read it? I don't. (|--  UlT i MuS  ( U • T • C 02:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I for one will not tolerate this kind of discrimination. Interior Decoration is an up and coming band in Iceland and you're going to refuse me the right to plug the band? What kind of website are you? I've seen a lot of shitty articles on Wikipedia that somehow slip through and you're gonna speedy delete a perfectly good article? Seriously, I am disgusted by your ethics. HerbertG 02:47, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Don't tolerate it all you want, we're an encyclopedia, not Variety magazine. Bad articles slipping through the cracks doesn't justify more bad articles. Danny Lilithborne 03:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong delete, catalyzed by but not based on the above tirade. Yes, we are "going to refuse [you] the right to plug the band"... Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a free webhost, advertising medium, or a crystal ball for a band that fails WP:MUSIC and has no verifiability from reliable sources about its notability. And if you see "a lot of shitty articles" then feel free to nominate those for deletion per WP:AFD. -- Kinu  t /c  03:12, 12 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete not speedy though. Wikipedia has a set of guidelines for notability of music at WP:MUSIC. Unfortunately this band doesn't meet any of these requirements and therefore must be deleted, otherwise everyone and their brother could put their bands on Wikipedia.
