Loveboat (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unsourced, never signed to a label from what I can tell, apparently now inactive. Being played on the radio once appears to have been the high point of their career. --Bongwarrior (talk) 08:26, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is one of many articles we have or have had (multiple others have been deleted) about non-notable bands of this ilk, created when Wikipedia had much more lax notability standards.  This band in fact only emerged after the wave of bands of their ilk (which of course had coincided with Wikipedia's Wild West years) had slipped away, so they never had even the relative or partial claim to notability they might have had if they had started a few years earlier.

 * Delete oh, god, this is clearly one of those band articles, typos and all. I looked up “loveboat (band)” and even “loveboat (rock band)” and all I found was a seemingly completely unrelated group called “Loveboat Big Band”. Dronebogus (talk) 11:21, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I also listened to one of their songs. It sounds like he’s singing over a Kevin MacLeod track (don’t get me wrong, I love Kevin MacLeod, but his music is supposed to be generic). Dronebogus (talk) 11:30, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - It's clear that this article was created back when music notability rules were much more lenient, and Wikipedia had no process for reviewing new articles. During a search I actually found the band mentioned in a couple of blogs about their local scene, but otherwise they are only found in typical social media and streaming services and even those are rare. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:20, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
