Parish (Band)
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable band with only one claim to notability which is a redlink member who was from another band. A half hour or so of attempts to find acceptable sources yielded no results. Note that while having a band member who is or was part of a notable band confers a level of notability on subsequent bands he/she/it is in, common sense suggests that there must be limits to that. An unsourcable band whose primary achievement is that they opened for someone notable definitely falls within the realm of a common sense override. Trusilver 09:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete They technically pass WP:BAND, but none of the other criteria whatsoever. C6 is the weakest criteria going on WP:BAND, and as it says, "common sense exceptions should apply". Willing to change this if some reliable 3rd party sources appear (there's very little on the Interweb short of conforming that the band actually existed).

 * Keep per WP:MUSIC. Same as back in May.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 10:46, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. WP:BAND notwithstanding, how do we hope to write an article on a band about which no reliable sources have seen fit to comment? WP:BAND isn't a suicide pact; we can safely ignore it when it tells us to write an article we can't verify. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 11:59, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Proof that WP:MUSIC isn't chiseled in stone. The only criterion that is met here is #6, which, as stated above, is probably the weakest. However, we can't even verify that his band includes a member of an otherwise-notable band, so by WP:V alone they fail.
