Taintstick

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

The article is about a band but gives no assertion to notability and does note cite any references. The only information is a list of members and a discography. The discography is either incomplete or the only album to the band's name was released this year and has had very little critical reception and no chart ranking is provided. There are no links in the article except to the band's myspace profile and official website, neither of which are WP:RS. HJ Mitchell (talk) 17:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep; easily passes WP:MUSIC, if not from the notability of the members than from third-party refs easily found through google, such as this. I'd suggest that the nom should make at least a brief google search in future and actually read the policies he is citing. Ironholds (talk) 18:49, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Also see slight coverage by NME; I'll try and find some more stuff in a bit. Ironholds (talk) 18:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge at best, with a redirect to Jason Ellis (if that is the right person); if the album doesn't turn out to be real, then delete (I'll leave this matter for a person more experienced in finding teen music). Ironholds is too optimistic: a. the album isn't out yet (so this is crystalballery); b. the label's website doesn't list the band, as far as I could tell (it's a confusing mess, that site); and c. antimusic.com is HARDLY a reliable source, as is suggested from the supercool and promotional tone of the article: "For a sneak preview of the wholesale devastation that awaits when Taintstick release their debut album in the summer of 2009 please visit www.MySpace.com/TaintstickMusic."

 * Ironholds has found one promotional website and "slight" coverage by NME--actually, no coverage, only a video online. Keep in mind that this album is only visible through a crystal ball. Drmies (talk) 03:31, 25 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: Taintstick has several songs in rotation on Sirius. Check http://www.dogstarradio.com/search_playlist.php for weekly rotations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.230.155.97 (talk) 04:42, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's not a reliable source, and even if it were it wouldn't add up to notability. Drmies (talk) 05:26, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
