Machinery Hall

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Original PROD with the rationale "Seems to be mostly built on lies, not notable otherwise"... indeed, there appears to be very little coverage in reliable sources and no evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC, and it seems that some of the possibly exaggerated claims may add up to a hoax. Created by an apparent single purpose account, PROD contested by new editor with the summary "This band headlined in the boston garden 3 times with up to 20,000 screaming people and a police escort I think that that meets the notability standards." "Machinery Hall" gets a total of 33 Google News results between 1990 and 2000, most of which are from Boston-area sources... hardly the coverage expected for a band which claims seven national tours, ten albums, and a number of notable awards in the 1990s.

 * Delete. The awards seem to be purely local in scope, and it isn't clear that even the awards are notable.  I wasn't able to find any evidence that this band meets WP:MUSIC. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:14, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Wait, could it be made into a stub. Plus I found this it may help, just search for Machinery on the page... http://www.bostonphoenix.com/supplements/bmp/99/GALLERY.html -SheafromME — Preceding unsigned comment added by SheafromME (talk • contribs) 16:17, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The purpose of a stub is to serve as a short article for future expansion about a notable topic. The issue here is that this subject is not notable, and the fact that the award you link to is called "Local Rock Act" seems to agree with that. It also doesn't address the fact that most of the article seems to violate the policies on verifiability. -- Kinu t /c  16:46, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't call this notable and its a stub http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daybrook,_West_Virginia — Preceding unsigned comment added by SheafromME (talk • contribs) 17:41, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That article has nothing to do with this one. (To wit, the Wikipedia community considers designated geographic locations like cities inherently notable.) -- Kinu t /c  18:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete seems like this is a very local pub band. Ohconfucius  ¡digame! 07:04, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
