Pretty Vicious

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Per WP:NBAND. Speedy delete request was removed without explanation twice. Trivial coverage of the band (attention from NMW was one paragraph - the second ref covers their debut album) and a lack of awards and/or songs on a national music chart, this band doesn't seem notable enough to have their on WP page.

 * Keep. We judge notability on whether subjects satisfy our guidelines, not on the state of articles. Just a couple of minutes searching found, , , , , , , , , , , , , , in addition to the perfectly good coverage already cited in the article. Satisfies WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. --Michig (talk) 08:51, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Sort of off putting to say that I am not judging the article by "our" guidelines here. I took issue with the sources provided (not entirely impressed by the 15 of yours I combed through either), and in researching the band I could not find awards or songs on the national music charts - those are WP:NBAND guidelines that I used to come up with my conclusion - nothing to do with the state of the article. Maybe try not to be so condescending in your response next time? Comatmebro (talk) 21:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm. You gave no indication in your nomination of having looked beyond what was in the (admittedly very poor) article, and your nomination didn't mention any coverage other than the two sources already cited, despite plenty existing. WP:BAND doesn't require awards or songs on national music charts - they are just of two of the criteria in that guideline. There's enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG and criterion 1 of WP:NBAND. --Michig (talk) 22:01, 30 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep About half the sources provided by Michig are run-of-the-mill type coverage a professional band receives for mere existence. However, the other half appear to indicate genuine, non-promotional third-party recognition. Should be enough for this subject to merit an article. ShelbyMarion (talk) 19:58, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Since the band has a song feautered in a very popular videogame allot of people might be looking for it. ([user: somethingcoolandstuff]) 23:25, 2. January 2018 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Somethingcoolandstuff (talk • contribs) 22:25, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
