The Briefs

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Absolutely no evidence of notability whatsoever. No citations, tagged since 2018 and promotional in tone. It's incredible this has been around for so long. Deleted, moved to draftspace, returned - it just refuses to die. No significant coverage, no chart placings, just no. Fails WP:GNG; WP:BASIC; WP:BAND. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:25, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep but reduce to verifiable facts. The band has a robust staff biography at AllMusic, and they are covered somewhat regularly at the semi-reliable PunkNews.org. Note that the band also has five album articles here, and all of them are in bad shape but four of those albums also have staff reviews at AllMusic, among occasional other reviews in the punk media. (Singles Only (The Briefs album) should probably be redirected.) I think there is enough for a stub article on this band, but it does not need to be a repeat of fan trivia and promotions from their website. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:26, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. The fact that the biography is poorly written is not a reason to delete it. The band is covered in many sources that can be used to radically rework the page. Binksternet (talk) 15:35, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable article that needs to be cleaned. I also opt for a stub version of this article.--Tysska (talk) 14:39, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
