Spirella Girls

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Was tagged for notability three years ago. No progress. Same lack of sources at the Swedish page. Spar-stangled (talk) 11:40, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep obviously. Question the good faith of this, nominator appears to be a disruptive sock puppet, see Sockpuppet investigations/Echigo mole.  Fancy Smith (talk) 09:04, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Note Fancy Smith also seems to be a sockpuppet of Echigo mole (yes, that is completely within his MO!). See Sockpuppet investigations/Echigo mole. Mathsci (talk) 09:20, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are strong indications that a socking game is being played here, however, this article is based solely on a youtube link. My search through google news and books turned up no useful sources for referencing this article, so the AfD should proceed. There is a passing mention to the group on p. 198 here (in a table) and a few more table/list-type mentions plus a whole sentence about the group (p. 13) here saying that Spirella Girls' 1994 song ”Brolin, Brolin” reused the melody of the well-known Jolene (song); the rest of the paragraph is about other interpretations of the Jolene song. Not enough material for WP:BAND in my opinion. Tijfo098 (talk) 14:20, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - wp:gng. end of story.--BabbaQ (talk) 17:00, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Which sources have significant coverage? Tijfo098 (talk) 17:48, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
 * BabbaQ regularly votes keep per WP:GNG and never provides actual sources. LibStar (talk) 11:03, 5 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep - The present article is slightly misleading: Spirella girls is a show/humour gruop rather than a pop group. The have appeared on Swedish national television and radio several times and released records as confirmed by the Swedish national media database . /FredrikT (talk) 14:38, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Is four TV and and 9 radio appearance (in all their history) enough for WP:BAND? It seems a pretty low standard. As far as I can tell they put out only one album. Tijfo098 (talk) 05:32, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

 * delete fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND. None of the keep voters have provided actual reliable sources. LibStar (talk) 11:06, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment, maybe leaning delete but not seriously - I'm uncomfortable with the general lack of real arguments in this AfD. Actual substantial GNG passing coverage does not seem to have been shown, regardless of whether there was potentially unacceptable motivation for the nomination.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:26, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - despite the sockpuppet nomination arguably presenting a procedural close option, I'm also not convinced of this band's notability. Cannot find any evidence they ever produced a charted song. Lukeno94 (talk) 10:12, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I repeat what I wrote above: Spirella Girls was a show group, not a pop band (though they did have one major record hit as well). Thus it does not seenm fair to base a deletion decision on WP:BAND. /FredrikT (talk) 16:22, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I guess by that you mean they did mostly parodies. Did they have other kind of performances besides tracks/videoclips? Tijfo098 (talk) 16:59, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
