The Rain Tapes
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Procedural nomination. Was previously deleted at AfD but Delete votes were by sockpuppets - see Sockpuppet investigations/JamesBurns/Archive. Therefore relisting (as should've happened at the time without the sockpuppets). I am neutral. Black Kite 21:01, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Erm...I thought the procedure was to add the !notvote template at top and strike sockpuppets votes? Not to mention AFD's are not votes? &eta;oian   &Dagger;orever &eta;ew &Dagger;rontiers  02:39, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * On an ongoing AfD that would be the case, but this one closed a while back. Black Kite 09:15, 21 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as per my original nomination. Subject fails notability per WP:MUSIC.  It is an unreleased demo tape. No singles, no chart performance, no awards.  Information comes from one source only.  I thought AfD were decided on the compliance or non-compliance to Wiki-rules of the original article anyway, not the number of votes it gets??  Paul75 (talk) 08:12, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You'd be right, but it'd be a brave administrator that'd close an AfD as "Delete" which had no delete !votes at all apart from the nom (which is what this would've had without the socks). Black Kite 09:14, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I dont think WP:MUSIC is the right guidelines (it's not a rule) for this particular item, but then half this article is otiose, and the useful bits can be (and are) covered elsewhere. JKW111 (talk) 13:12, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete no independent notability established for this.Bali ultimate (talk) 17:06, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
