SSD (band)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable local band, no notable members. Band released only two albums other than on its own ephemeral label, each on minor indie labels. No evidence that it meets any of the criteria of WP:BAND, the article's been tagged for being unsourced for nearly three years, and the article's BEEN unsourced for over SEVEN years. The previous nomination is a six year old VfD apparently based around a misunderstanding concerning redirects.  ῲ Ravenswing ῴ  21:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. I've added (easily found) sources. The band is obviously notable and meets several criteria of WP:BAND. The albums released on labels other than its own were on Homestead Records and Taang!, neither of which is a "minor indie label". --Michig (talk) 06:52, 19 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep "Non-notable local band, no notable members." - You're being so ignorant. If you knew anything about American Hardcore I'd knew how influential this band is. Here you are http://www.allmusic.com/artist/ssd-p14363. Local band.... Damn! Who do you think you are to judge which band is local?! SSD are all over this film http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Hardcore_%28film%29 http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/membre_groupe/photo/Ben_Shepherd-12792.jpg -> Maybe Ben Sheperd form VERY sourced and NON-local band didn't have clue what SSD was and why he was wearing their shirt? Think about it... Vaultsuit (talk) 13:56, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep per Michig's sources. Note to Vaultsuit:  Calling other editors ignorant, saying "if you knew anything about x," swearing, or providing pictures of someone wearing their t-shirt is never helpful in AfD arguments, and doesn't help your case.
