The Ionics
Non-notable band, no sources for statements of notability, sole claim to fame relates to a blog on an AZ newspaper. May meet guidelines for speedy deletion. -- ChrisB 05:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as a non-notable band, WP:BAND refers. Better off in Myspace until they achieve notability - tours, charting albums, singles, etc.  (aeropagitica)    (talk)   05:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only place found is the aforementioned blog—which appears actually not to be related to any newspaper—and random local venues alongside many other non-notable performers. Of the ~900 Google hits for "The Ionics", 90% or more are actually about chemistry or a water treatment company called "Ionics", etc. Note that the recently removed citation for 944 Magazine (which itself may not even be notable) actually pointed to an article about the 2005 Indonesian tsunami/earthquake (found on The Internet Archive, now a dead link). —Centrx→talk &bull; 05:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:BAND. Not a speedy candidate since the article's been around for a while. --Coredesat talk 08:17, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. And to answer Coredesat, this from WP:CSD:  "The word "speedy" in this context refers to the rapid decision-making process, not the length of time since the article was created."  There's nothing about creation time that's a factor in CSD.  RGTraynor 08:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Oops, I misread A7 as having the time constraints of A8. --Coredesat talk 05:22, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
