Smyslovye Galucinacii
A stub article on a Russian rock band (it doesn't say so, though). The band kind of sucks too. So, I propose to delete it. Grue 14:26, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep after Mikkalai's edits. And move to Smyslovye Gallucinacii, there is a typo in the title. Grue 12:48, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable. No reference in AMG, 23 Google hits. JoaoRicardo 19:41, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Note however that if you search for Russian spelling, "&#1057;&#1084;&#1099;&#1089;&#1083;&#1086;&#1074;&#1099;&#1077; &#1043;&#1072;&#1083;&#1083;&#1102;&#1094;&#1080;&#1085;&#1072;&#1094;&#1080;&#1080;" you'll get a whopping 45800 Google hits. Still the article as is is worse than substub. Grue 20:11, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Thanks for the tip, Grue. I'll be keeping my vote based on the lack of AMG entry, but it would also be nice if you or someone else could say what this means in Russian. If it's a common term, then the many Google hits may be ruled out. JoaoRicardo 02:43, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Babelfish translates it as "Semantic Hallucinations" Kappa 03:15, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. After this I went to give a closer look to those Google hits and saw that they all are from music-related domain names. I now believe this band is notable in Russia, but this article is currently useless. I don't know how to rewrite it (I will not write just "Smyslovye Galucinacii is a Russian band") and seems no one else is inclined to do it. So I will keep my vote to delete. However, if someone wants to create a decent article or a decent stub later, I believe they should be able to in spite of this deletion. JoaoRicardo 03:36, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, not notable, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 01:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Speedy candidate as "short, no context". Even less useful than London Calling was. Delete unless expanded (but keep if expanded). keep, ty Mikkalai Kappa 02:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Please hold off voting for this page for 8 hours. I will salvage the article tonight. I am not a fan of modern Russian popular music, but it is indeed underrepresented. Even Mashina Vremeni (Time Machine, whatever) is missing. Mikkalai 19:13, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Good work Mikkalai. 220.244.224.72 16:22, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I did bare minimum, to establish notability. The rest of the job is for others. Mikkalai 17:01, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * The above congratulations were from me. We now have a good stub for building on. Capitalistroadster 17:29, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
