The Audioholics
According to the article the group was created January 2005. --LeeHunter 12:08, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC) I've found some fan pages on them This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'.

 * Delete. New groups can be notable from scratch, of course, provided that at least one of the members is previously notable. However, the current article gives no impression of anything other than that this is a very new band, and therefore no evidence of note or influence that would justify an article is present.

 * The Band contains James Collard who has been in many successful bands before and is known around Stockport for his excellent bass playing skills. Is this what you meant by "New groups can be notable from scratch, of course, provided that at least one of the members is previously notable." because if so, I think you should keep this. 213.249.155.239 13:28, 2005 Jan 26 (according to history Uncle G 18:48, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC))
 * Has he indeed? Well, firstly, that wasn't mentioned when I voted delete, and secondly - prove it. I googled, and didn't see his name before I got bored (and I shouldn't have to google to prove this, it's a requirement that the article demonstrates this rather than make a vague claim and expect us to believe it). So name the bands, and to which label they were signed. If they weren't signed, then he isn't notable - this is an encyclopedia, not a local entertainment guide.

 * Even then, that would prove the notability of James Collard rather than of The Audioholics. Uncle G 16:24, 2005 Jan 27 (UTC)
 * Delete, When a band hasnt released a CD, I dont think it should be notable at all, unless its fan following is pretty large. Inter 14:05, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * "Has as a member a man who is known around Stockport" is not the world's best example of notability. Delete. Uncle G 18:48, 2005 Jan 26 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, not yet notable enough. Megan1967 22:35, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable band. James Collard himselfes seems to be non-notable. --Deathphoenix 23:50, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Mikkalai 07:47, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete doesn't meet WikiProject:Music's guidelines for inclusion, and no evidence of notability is given. Tuf-Kat 05:33, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, vanity. Neutralitytalk 07:03, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
