Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Vandon Arms


 * 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 Move back to userspace. Move to User:Yohant1981/The Vandon Arms

Given the noted process issues, leaving in user space is preferred by policy (e.g., WP:ATD), and no argument was advanced that the content is so in appropriate as to warrant removal from user space. joe deckertalk 15:38, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

The Vandon Arms

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article, with some advertorial overtones, about a band with no strong reliable source coverage to support a credible claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC: the sourcing here is almost entirely to dead links of event listings on pub websites, Facebook and user-generated content sites, with the closest thing to a reliable source being the "track listing only, no review" Allmusic page of a single compilation album on which they placed one song. That's not enough to get a band into Wikipedia in and of itself, and the quality of sourcing doesn't pass WP:GNG. Delete (or restore to userspace per Godsy?) Bearcat (talk) 21:16, 6 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Restore to userspace, move this content back to User:Yohant1981/The Vandon Arms - This content was moved from User:Yohant1981/The Vandon Arms on May 1 of this year with the move summary "stale draft found" by a user other than that whose userspace in which it resided. This should not be done if the content isn't suitable for the mainspace. There is also overwhelming consensus at User pages/RfC for stale drafts policy restructuring in section B4 for this action (which is in the process of being closed). — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 10:02, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, that would be an acceptable resolution too. I've revised my nomination statement accordingly. Bearcat (talk) 16:20, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete No improvement to the weak references. Recording and releasing their own music; getting a track or two played on satellite radio; appearing on the same bill that includes acts that are notable — these are the achievements of countless bands of no particular distinction. I add it all up and I just don't see any criteria where this band meets an encyclopedic level of notability. ShelbyMarion (talk) 14:11, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't dispute any of what you've stated. However, due to the process issues I've described above, the outcome of this AfD could be challenged. This should be returned to User:Yohant1981/The Vandon Arms, deletion can be sought at MfD, if desired. — Godsy (TALK CONT ) 02:53, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
