The Fancy Lads
doesn't meet WP:MUSIC notability test --WAvegetarian 21:32, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment. Untrue, featured prominently in Wisconsin State Journal, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel & other major media outlets. Scanned copies can be provided if necessary.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.170.5.187 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 21 November 2005


 * Comment. Please read WP:NMG and see why the band does not make the cut. PJM 22:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment. Good point. Also in the Milwaukee Magazine regarding their social satire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.246.83.58 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 21 November 2005


 * Comment That's good for them but irrelevant to this discussion. Pleaseread the notability test linked to in my nomination. I don't believe any of those qualify this group. WAvegetarian 22:15, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NMG. PJM 22:20, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep based on WP:BIO (Major local political figures who receive significant press coverage/ A large fan base, fan listing or "cult" following) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.170.5.187 (talk • contribs)
 * That applies to politicians - as it states - not bands. WP:BIO is not meant for bands - WP:NMG is. PJM 14:04, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Vote discounted by closing admin Jtkiefer T  00:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep based on adherence to notability test #7: "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city" - style in question is musical political satire, in the state capitol of Madison, WI.

 * Keep per 68.117.142.76. I nominated this article, however I feel that sufficient support of notability has been added. I am adding the madison.com links to the article. --WAvegetarian 01:07, 22 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment. I have added expand and stub tags to the article. Would someone with more knowledge please expand the article so that it no longer appears as fancruft, as it did to me when I nominated it?--WAvegetarian 01:16, 22 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. I still don't see enough notability or evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC. -  Dalbury ( Talk )  02:39, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

Keep per per 68.117.142.76 Everyone involved with WI politics knows about this band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.191.124.3 (talk • contribs)

 * Keep, but for god's sakes lads, stop sockpuppeting. Your votes won't be counted and a lot of people will assume that if you feel the need to use sockpuppets you can't be notable. --Last Malthusian 09:26, 22 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Comment, thanks for the support for keeping. We will appropriately expand the entry. We are new to all this. Your humble servants, the Fancy Lads. 68.117.142.76 13:21, 22 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete notability not proven.  Grue   12:14, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete. Article is self-promotion/vanity, does not meet any WP:MUSIC guidelines despite the madison.com link. —Cleared as filed. 22:30, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
