The Water Pistols

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Very obscure band who only released 2 rather obscure spoof songs. I would say redirect to Charlie Drake but it says it was not him then. Can't find any notability or reliable sources. Wgolf (talk) 19:44, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. I see no reason to keep this article if it has no references or notability. Zeke Essiestudy (talk) 05:45, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article should be kept even if it has zero references -- if such references could be supplied that meet wp:GNG.  Just saying that it has not references in the article is not a reason to !vote delete. And as to whether it has notability -- you can't really opine on that until you do the appropriate searches to see if it meets any of the notability criteria.  Such as GNG. And a !vote that is not in accord with wp guidelines does not count. Epeefleche (talk) 01:31, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * -well to be fair finding info for the band is tough considering looking up water pistols I get the obvious and even putting band I get stuff like "bands for water pistols!" Wgolf (talk) 01:35, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * I understand, Wgolf. And at least at this point, haven't myself !voted.  I just wanted to clear up the misconception of the other editor, by clarifying how AfD works (he is apparently somewhat new in !voting in AfDs).  Best. Epeefleche (talk) 01:37, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. It was a fun single but all I could find was a Mojo article that mentions it (stating that it was Charlie Drake, although that seems unlikely) and this brief mention in Dave Thompson's book London's Burning. Not enough to justify keeping the article. --Michig (talk) 09:15, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
