The result was Keep. Tone of the nomination indicates that it is procedural. Definitely a borderline case, but no one seems to want it to go away just now. IronGargoyle 23:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The Adored

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. This article is about a group that does not, in my opinion, meet WP:BAND, but their case is borderline: they have released 1 (not 2) albums on a big indie label, they have some fame (I find 600ish non wiki real google hits with "the adored power pop"), I could find one review for their album, at IGN. So I have mixed feelings. -- lucasbfr talk 21:04, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As usual it comes down to notability here. Its not as if you can measure the "notability" of someone or something. So why bother. Exactly why should this article be deleted? Because policy says so? What does policy say? Its unclear. Why does policy say this? In order to save space, no, in order to hold an encyclopedia brimming full of information that no paper encyclopedia can have, clearly not otherwise this 'notability' principle wouldn't exist. Why does Wikipedia have to delete articles because they have no apparent use? Its information, what an encyclopia is ment to hold. Which should damn well be what wikipedia should be about, making a huge repository of information. This clearly counts as useful information no matter how you put it, they have an album, which a lot of people have listened to, their songs have appeared on Greys Anatomy, why should you delete them? 82.43.111.162 22:56, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Because Wikipedia's just cool like that. 58.178.38.162 03:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete I meant Keep (I originally was leaning toward delete but changed my mind; apparently I forgot to change my "vote") Shortcomings in some areas (i.e. only 1 album) combined with plusses in others (a song in Grey's Anatomy, Pete Shelley singing on their record) add up to notability. Article does need work, though. Closenplay 19:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
