The Balham Alligators

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

No non-trivial coverage found in third party sources, fails WP:MUSIC. Also delete Category:The Balham Alligators albums, which contains several redirects to the band's article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 01:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. Indeed fails almost all of WP:MUSIC but some of it could pass (1, 2, or 5) if reliable sources were found, however I could not find any for those.  I did find this and this which could make it pass under WP:MUSIC#11 because it is arguable that there are other unpublished playlists which may include the group. ZabMilenko 05:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Two albums on Proper Records looks good enough. Duffbeerforme (talk) 10:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Article needs a rewrite (and I can't believe Geraint Watkins was deleted as well). The problem with the thinking behind the nomiation is that it eliminates musical minorities who despite their quality have not achieved the mainstream mass markets that are required by the criteria quoted. If we are creating Wikipedia "so that our offspring, becoming better instructed", let's be inclusive not exclusive. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:19, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Geraint Watkins was not deleted. It was a redirect page Geraint Watkins (musician) that was deleted. Adds more to The Balham Alligators than I'd seen earlier. Duffbeerforme (talk) 17:15, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
