Slunt
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Zero sourcing found. Kept in 2007 because of reviews that are now 404 and don't seem to be from reputable sites. Also including the album. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 01:37, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Found a non-404 review here: and a mention here:  (he says they disbanded in 2007 so maybe we can source & add something about that and save the article?). The albums probably don't deserve separate articles regardless. ObsidianPotato (talk) 03:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure Fringe Underground is an RS, as they don't seem to have any editors. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 04:37, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * This list from May 2004 very briefly mentions Slunt. Not really a source for any of the current content but it at least kinda confirms they existed. ObsidianPotato (talk) 10:45, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Another review here: ObsidianPotato (talk) 11:03, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * A Wordpress blog is definitely not a reliable source. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:14, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Found one more by what is I think a KBUE magazine? ObsidianPotato (talk) 15:46, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That site's content appears to be user submitted. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 15:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Reluctant Delete - I am familiar with this band and saw them live back in the day, and I can attest that they had some underground credibility at the time. Alas, I am surprised to find that they attracted very little mainstream notice. Searching is tough because the band's name is also a purported slang term, but a search in conjunction with the names of band members also reveals little. For the band, I can find nothing beyond the partial and/or unreliable reviews mentioned in the discussion above; note that singer Abby Gennet has a little media notice for her later activities but the band is only ever mentioned briefly. Also note that they have two album articles at Get a Load of This (album) and Slunt (EP), which should at least be redirected in the event that the band's article survives. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:45, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Neutral: On one hand, I agree that the article is really hard to source and the notability is questionable/borderline. Objectively, however, I can't see what changed since the 2007 discussion, and so as per WP:NTEMP by deleting it now we would essentially be disputing that decision. If the two published albums made the band notable back then, it should also be notable now. PS: The two album articles - Get_a_Load_of_This (album), Slunt (EP) - fail WP:NALBUM and so they should be deleted/merged, and redirected into the main article.

 * Weak Delete: Changing my vote as per discussion - Even though it seems kinda close with the two released albums, I think it's unlikely sufficient coverage/sources exist to justify this article. ObsidianPotato (talk) 18:14, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * What changed since 2007 is that the notability rules for musicians at WP:NBAND have gotten tougher, and it is now necessary to prove that the band got more than a few blog-like reviews and gig announcements. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 19:22, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
