Mean Red Spiders (2nd nomination)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

came across article since it's mentioned on this WP page. Still seems to be a mess two years after last nomination. Band doesn't appear to meet a single Notability (music) requirement. Last nomination someone mentioned lots of Google hits, but it has since been mentioned in the article that there are or were three other bands by the same name so Google hits is even more irrelevant than usual. Most of the references are myspace pages. Only possibly reliable link is to "new music canada" website, but that seems to list thousands of small local bands so can't be a claim to notability. Possible vanity/conflict issues, too since a major editor has been User:Dashumphreys, while the article mentions "Co-founding member David Humphreys". GDallimore (Talk) 11:10, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, and a weak one at that. Meets WP:MUSIC, unless of course if someone nominates Teenage USA Recordings and all their associated bands for notability too.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 11:27, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Even if Teenage USA Recordings are notable enough to warrant an article, that doesn't make them a "major label" or "one of the more important indie labels". Their article fails to assert either of these or any of the other requirements for C5. GDallimore (Talk) 12:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. It really is just spam. Wikipedia isn't for things made up. GreenJoe 20:50, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
