Tempest (rock band)

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

A speedy was declined on this, which kind of surprises me as my first inclination was to just delete it myself. Anyhow, this is a stubby article about a band with one album on a record label whose link goes to an unrelated article (as does the album itself), with a bunch of redlinked members and one who was a member of a moderately notable band. The article is unsourced and, contrary to the statement in removal of the CSD tag, really doesn't assert notability of any kind other than as a side project of a member of a more notable band. If nothing else, this could be merged to that member's article, I suppose, but right now, as this stands, it doesn't meet WP:MUSIC, IMO.

 * Comment. Saxon (band) go well beyond "moderately notable" (18 top 100 UK singles and 9 top 50 UK albums), so WP:MUSIC is perhaps satisfied, particularly as this also suggests that 2 members are former members of The Glitter Band. Having said that, I couldn't find much coverage of the band, and a merge somewhere else may be the best course of action.--Michig (talk) 07:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: notability not established, as per WP:BAND. JamesBurns (talk) 01:00, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: I appreciate that Graham Oliver and Saxon are notable, however notability is not inherited, and there seems to be no evidence of notability specific for this band. It's sufficient to mention the band in Graham Oliver's page - which we already do. I agree that Speedy Delete wasn't appropriate btw, as notability was asserted, and I think it needs a discussion (e.g., in case anyone can dig up sources to back up those assertions). My vote should not be taken to mean Delete for any future deletions, where evidence of notability has been found. Mdwh (talk) 15:09, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, –Juliancolton Happy Holidays 01:12, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Redirect A7 is clearly not approiate for a band containing a member of Saxon. Band itself does not appear to be worthy of more than a redirect. If Graham Oliver has an article I see no reason not to redirect it there. Duffbeerforme (talk) 15:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
