Pell Mell

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Garage band article with no citations. Does not meet notability requirements. Worse, this expression, "pell mell", should be located here, not this band. KDS 4444  Talk  19:51, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Obviously notable. Just look at the Allmusic entry and the album releases. --Michig (talk) 20:13, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment A single article on a web page does not constitute multiple secondary sources. The fact that they have released one or more albums does not in and of itself confer notability.   KDS 4444   Talk  21:03, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Then search for more as indicated in WP:BEFORE. --Michig (talk) 21:08, 18 June 2013 (UTC)

 * A search for more yields links to a description of the band published by the record label that signed them (Matador Records— therefore not an independent source per WP:IS) and plagiarized copies of this same description on other websites. Incidentally, it also yields references to a German band by the same name which must be parsed from this one.   KDS 4444   Talk  00:30, 19 June 2013 (UTC)
 * You should also find several newspaper articles, an entry in the Trouser Press Guide to 90s Rock, a bio and discography in The Great Indie Discography, just to name a few. --Michig (talk) 06:17, 19 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. Alongside the coverage described above, album releases on SST Records, DGC Records and Matador Records show that WP:BAND is met. — sparklism hey! 07:01, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Move to Pell Mell (band) to allow for the creation of a disambiguation page in its place with a short intro about the phrase "pell mell". We don't want to get into WP:DICDEF territory but a short explanation would be of value, I think. Pell Mell the band should be listed along with Pell-Mell Woodcote, the official publication of the Royal Automobile Club. Pell Mell also seems to have been a sport (a precursor to croquet) which is probably worth mentioning and may even justify an article of its own. The band itself is obviously notable, but shouldn't occupy the title for the term after which it seems to have been named. There was a similar case here except that group wasn't notable.
