Skruff

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Marginally notable band. Some evidence of minimal third-party coverage, but yet to publish an album. Marginal on WP:BAND, hence the AfD. CultureDrone (talk) 12:58, 11 March 2009 (UTC) Delete: mostly it's myspace type sites they're on. -- Menti  fisto  19:02, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions.  -- the wub  "?!"  15:21, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: MySpace band. Insufficient independent 3rd party coverage WP:BAND. JamesBurns (talk) 09:01, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no indication of notability, lacks coverage. Duffbeerforme (talk) 07:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Withdrawing position. Duffbeerforme (talk) 02:50, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I've now added four references. The article by Minihan from The Belfast Telegraph is entirely about the band. There is evidence of touring and national radio play in the UK. There is enough here now for WP:MUSIC criterion #1, so keep. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 21:48, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, X  clamation point  03:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted because article was improved, and not enough time has passed to allow contributors to reconsider. (4 hours isn't enough time) X clamation point  03:32, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Question for Paul Erik, what is the second Belfast Telegraph article like? Duffbeerforme (talk) 06:34, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a brief mention, really not much more than the descriptor I added to the article. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 22:51, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails WP:MUSIC. Eusebeus (talk) 18:02, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * How?   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 22:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep, along with the ref's Paul Erik has added, here are a few more; bbc.co.uk gig review, radio 1, bbc radio ulster, bbc radio foyle, derry journal, and a slightly trivial mention in the belfasttelegraph. More than enough there to pass WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 22:59, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, I've not heard of them but looking through some of the links makes me think they are probably more notable than initially thought. Also, I note that the speedy deletion was put up within two hours of the article's creation. It has been fleshed out a little since. I also note there's an article in Hot Press (subscription only), and get a decent mention in the Strabane Chronicle. I would therefore recommend that perhaps we wait and see how this article develops before deleting it too hastily. Tris2000 (talk) 12:25, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Appears to be enough independent coverage to satisfy requirements at WP:MUSIC.Nrswanson (talk) 04:47, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
