The Blackouts (1979 band)

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

Not notable, long time undeveloped stub most unlikely to be developed further, zero notable hits except automatic quotations from Wikipedia. The multiple What links here? links appear to be almost entirely routine inclusions in Related articles sections but are not integrated into the articles content.

 * COMMENT this article is listed twice at article for deletion august 20. should someone fix this so we dont have potentially 2 results?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:55, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep: Notable per WP:MUSIC #6 if nothing else, as Bill Rieflin and Paul Barker went on to successful careers in music and have articles. If the stub needs fleshing out, I can work on that -- Foetusized (talk) 02:50, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Plenty of coverage found, and three members that went directly on to join Ministry.--Michig (talk) 19:53, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Change to Keep. I posted the original AfD on what seemed to be a moribund article, this seems to have spurred an impressive flurry of activity that, frankly, I didn't expect to happen.  Article is now better beyond recognition and clearly has a following.  Maybe AfD was a useful catalyst.  Keep going. Ex nihil (talk) 23:30, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, easily passes more than one criteria of WP:MUSIC now.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 01:39, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
