List of band names that contain numbers
This article is yet another bloody smeggy list and as all the lists I have found seems to be in violation of both No original research and What Wikipedia is not. The article has a very brief one sentence introduction. Also I really do not see how this article can ever be verified as either complete or accurate. It may be better if it were a category.

 * Comment I agree that this doesn't really necessitate a list and is probably incomplete, but surely accuracy is easily verified in this case. (Eg, does the band's name have numbers in it? If so, it belongs here! If not, it doesn't.) Icewolf34 20:28, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Such an article is not really needed, and it would be better suited as a category. See also: Articles for deletion/List of bands with numbers in the title. Displaced Brit 20:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Absolutely agreed, I'll submit my vote to delete. Icewolf34 20:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete per above discussion // why would this page exist anyways? Icewolf34 20:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, categories are for the kind of thing you'd look up in an index. Gazpacho 21:14, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * delete, list cruft. Non-encyclopedic. Who'd look this up? Plus it's unmanageable. Spearhead 21:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete duplicate. Danny Lilithborne 23:00, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:OR. -- Koffieyahoo 01:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a list of "loosely associated topics" per nom; the presence of a number in the name is not a significant feature of the bands in question. Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is not OR in any meaningful sense - that's a specious argument. It does not - to me - fall foul of What Wikipedia is not. Data in the list is easily verifiable. It is not for us to speculate on whether anyone would look this up, though if pressed, I would suggest crossword puzzlers might, from time to time. If you have a problem with this list, then do not google for list of bands sincde you might then weep. --Tagishsimon (talk)
 * Delete. Subtrivial listcruft of interest only to the person who created the list. KleenupKrew 03:49, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. While I agree this cannot in any real sense be called original research, it is wholly unuseful to anyone except those governed by whimsy. I was going to create an article List of band names that contain letters but that seems pointless too! Mallanox 23:49, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
