Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Organic Lawn Management (band)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   Delete. I commend Peridon, Whpq and Erpert for their reasonable comments in the face of anonymous, WP:ILIKEIT-style actions. AfD is about the strength of your argument, not the strength of the emotion behind it, and most commentators here have a lot of the latter and very little of the former. Taking only into account those comments where the user has provided a policy-based argument, and ignoring the rest, there is clear consensus for this article to be deleted.

 * Delete. A Gsearch only results in the usual suspects.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 08:26, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Band have recently become recognised on the local circuit and have confirmed a quickly growing fanbase.

 * I think you meant to say "keep". Anyway, please read WP:POPULARITY.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 18:53, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Fine then. Keep. Not only for the above reason, but because band has gained notability by being one of 658 shortlisted bands for Greenman Festival 2010, as well as being a band that has gained notability through its many merits, including its ties to some charities.

 * Note: Double "keep" !vote struck out.  Erpert  Who is this guy? 07:48, 9 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. The band have gained stature in and around the West Midlands, UK, and has been shortlisted for the Greenman Festival 2010. Their support of ME is documented also.Hurricane90 (talk) 14:17, 9 January 2011 (UTC) — Hurricane90 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Thanks for the notice at the top; as if someone had joined this discussion to add a vote under the impression it would sway the outcome. I think everyone is aware of the discussion at hand and the reasons for deleting this page are unsubstantial. The band has sources to substantiate its notability and that should be that.

 * Comment While wishing the band success (largely because they're young and not hiphop or rappers...), I think WP:TOOSOON comes in here. If not, and good references (see WP:RS) are available - ADD THEM. As to the !vote situation - the notice means "it's not a head count, so don't bother creating accounts just to say 'Keep' with no sound reason given". This is a discussion, and I and many others who are regulars at Articles for Deletion want to get to the bottom of things. We are mostly prepared to change our minds, given evidence. The closing admin will usually ignore posts that don't contribute anything more than 'I like it' (or 'I don't like it', even...). In the mean time, if refs are currently good enough, keep up the festival playing. (Is Coleford still going? I played there once, on the fringe and quite unexpectedly...) Get the refs, and someone will probably have written the article for you. BTW - Please sign your posts with four ~ thingies. It saves the little bot some work.

 * Delete - It's great that they have a local fanbase. What they do not have at this time is significant coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 17:21, 11 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. They seem to be a new, up-and-coming band, and it's nice to see one that isn't building its career around rap and dance music. They have reliable sources, so what's written seems perfectly legitmate. As Peridon commented, I don't see them to be under the 'TOOSOON' category and their sources seem to check out, so add them! -- User: OccipitalTiger, 14:11, 12 Jan 2011 (UTC) — 81.23.49.209 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment - There is no user "Occipital Tiger", it is an IP posted comment. As for the assertion that there are reliable sources, please bring them forward.  I am always open to new evidence. However simply stating they exist without providing any details don;t really support your argument for keeping the article. -- Whpq (talk) 15:26, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
