The result was keep. The only two arguments for deletion were a self-admitted tentative one from the nominator, and a user who said "per nom". The keep arguments are more resounding, and form a consensus to keep. Daniel.Bryant 07:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Sister Spit

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Band had only one album released. Out of the two references cited currently, one has only a passing mentioning of the group, the other does not look like a non-trivial published works (WP:MUSIC) to me. A google search for "Sister Spit" -site:sisterspit.com Michelle Tea gives about 1300 refs. Founder Michelle Tea also has a wikipedia article. The primary author & admin has removed the notability tag and left me a message, and has no objection to start this AfD process to determine notability. I myself are not yet convinced about its notability, but am open to either side. Chris 73 | Talk 20:55, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Very strong (speedy?) keep. Chris 73 tagged this article for notability despite it having the multiple references necessary to fulfil the criteria in WP:MUSIC, instead telling me to either provide more or it would be AFD'd.  I told him I'd provide more, and whilst putting this further edit together, Chris decided to nominate the article for deletion, a whole sixteen(!) minutes after I told him I was in the process of finding and adding more references .  The group has been on a national tour, released 4 albums, performed at festivals including the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival and San Francisco Pride, and has recieved dedicated articles and non-trivial references in the Village Voice, Discorder, and the Independent Weekly at least (and that's what I found on page one of a cursory Google search).  I think it's easier to count the criteria of WP:MUSIC they do not fulfil.  Proto ::  ►  21:23, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * There were more than 4 hours between the first notability tag and this AfD. After you removed the notability tag you stated that there are enough refs for its notability, which were exactly two refs that IMHO did not satisfy WP:MUSIC and the mentioning of only one album. Finally, after I asked you about a possible AfD prior to the AfD, you told me to do what I think is right. Anyway, with the current refs it is likely that the article will survive AfD, even though many refs link only to the discs for sale. -- Chris 73 | Talk 21:57, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep There seems to be a lot of verifiable info on "Sister Spit" on the web. The page should just be referenced. - Peregrine Fisher 22:54, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Well known (and influential) performance art group. --lquilter 22:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
