Salem (Florida band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Long troubled page with no sustainable notability. Fails WP:NMUSIC and fails to pass WP:VERIFY. The band in question only claims notability not for lasting contributions to the music industry, but by the dubious and questionable notability of the band members. This page was written from the perspective of a fan and most likely contains original research (see: WP:ORIGINAL) from a personal rather than encyclopedic perspective. Longstanding issues have not been resolved on this matter, which brings into question general public interest in and necessity for the article. Abovethestorm (talk) 01:31, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete for now at best as I nominated the As Friends We Rust article at Articles for deletion/As Friends We Rust and I also planned to nominate this one later. The best my searches seemed to find was only this and they all simply seem like marginally locally known bands. SwisterTwister   talk  05:40, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I could be mistaken but I believe that User:SwisterTwister meant to reference the article As Friends Rust and Articles for deletion/As Friends Rust, not As Friends We Rust and Articles for deletion/As Friends We Rust. The attention brought to the error is not intended as anything but an attempt to clarify the discussion for future readers. Abovethestorm (talk) 01:52, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete No evidence of non-trivial coverage in reliable sources. Also delete Love It or Leave Me, an article about a non-notable album by this band. OhNo itsJamie  Talk 15:59, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
