Delete someone moved the page to Delete me, which I'll WP:AGF and treat as a kind of a WP:PROD because it does seem that this band fails WP:BAND. The article is primarily sourced to their own webpage, twitter, and facebook. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:49, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. That 'someone' was the author, and no-one else has made significant edits to it, so it's a speedy candidate. I42 (talk) 18:24, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It transpires the author tried to delete in performing a cut and paste move; he has recreated the same article at Sweet Billy Pilgrim. I42 (talk) 18:49, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Despite the speedily deletable nature of the article, Google suggests the band seems to have a lot of attention, and the Times review confers notability. I42 (talk) 18:37, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. I am the author, and tried to change the spelling of the page so that each word in the title had a capital letter, as I couldn't do it, I thought it would be easier to delete the old one and start a new one with the correct spelling. I'm of course willing accept your decision on deleting it, but I think the band fulfil enough of the wikipedia criteria to stay.  They are very busy all summer playing festivals and shows accross europe, specifically The UK, Spain, Italy and Norway.  Besides the CD of the week review in The Sunday Times the new album has also had reviews in Mojo and Uncut this month,(4 stars each) both mainstream UK music media magazines.  Furthermore BBC Radio 6 and BBC Radio 3 have both played songs by Sweet Billy Pilgrim, and Tim form the band was interviewed by Fiona Talkington on BBC radio 3 last week.  They have also recorded, toured or worked with Steve Jansen David Sylvian Toyah Willcox and Martin Grech although admittedly, that was not always under the name Sweet Billy Pilgrim MrGorsky (talk) 18:14, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment Once the discussion is over, if the article is kept, please move it to properly capitalize it. I'd do it myself, but I'm afraid of messing up something with the AfD discussion fuzzy510 (talk) 21:25, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Move now done. I42 (talk) 06:08, 4 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –  Juliancolton  | Talk 00:21, 8 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - Times and BBC articles are enough for notability. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:26, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep, Times and BBC are excellent sources. The other two magazines would be excellent sources if the references were pointing to the magazines not the bands website. Article should have been flagged for clean-up instead of being brought here. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 09:53, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm araid neither Mojo nor Uncut publish their reviews anywhere online I know of. The scans were the best I could do and I wanted to add references from known sources. MrGorsky (talk) 17:19, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Since there are good sources in there, it's unlikely the source on the band website are made up. Pointing to the band site is unfortunate, but not a deleteable offence that cannot be fixed by editing. - Mgm|(talk) 22:19, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
