Non-notable: fails WP:BAND StAnselm (talk) 01:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing WP:N and WP:BAND. As far as I'm aware "the mp3.com Christian Blues website" is a non-notable chart and they're not signed to any label, let alone a major label.  Good faith searches don't appear to return any reliable independent sources although given the generic band name there's a lot of noise drowning out the signal on google.  The article itself doesn't provide any help, source-wise. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:48, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete, use page to redirect to Thirty pieces of silver. --Neutralitytalk 07:55, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Indeed it should redirect to Thirty pieces of silver. In accordance with WP:BRD, I've just made this happen.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  22:09, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * If that's the case, (and I think we've got a consensus) this discussion calls for early closure. StAnselm (talk) 22:31, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Dispute early closure. The purpose of the seven day AfD is to allow interested parties time to weigh in and find sources, and good sources would be a reason to Keep, if they exist.  The article creator or other interested parties might be once-a-week editors, hence the seven days. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Question - I'm with DustFormsWords above. Should the redirect have been done already before the official closure of this AfD? Possible contributors now have to go through many extra steps to find an old version of the article. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 15:02, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It has been two days with no further discussion, so I have de-redirected the page so it will be easier for other users to contribute here if they see fit. I don't think WP:BRD was appropriate for this or any AfD dicussion. The opening paragraph of that guideline says "for identifying objections to edits, breaking deadlocks, keeping discussion moving forward" and "useful when other dispute resolution for a particular wiki is not present, or has currently failed." There was no failed resolution to a hopeless controversy going on in the nomination and first two votes of this AfD. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 16:47, 19 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - notwithstanding the procedural stuff above, once someone is able to see the article and do their own research, this band does not meet the notability requirements under WP:BAND. Note that the web search can be made easier if you search for the band's name in addition to one or more members, such as Dale Baty. Nonetheless, they have not achieved any significant coverage in reliable sources; just message board postings, social networking sites (within Christian music) and the like.

 * I wouldn't want to see BRD as a regular feature of AfD discussions either, but in the circumstances I think it was a reasonable judgment call. My logic is that the nomination, and all the "delete" recommendations, are contrary to WP:BEFORE. Simply put, we can redirect this title to a plausible target, which enables us to avoid deletion; and per WP:BEFORE, since we can avoid deletion, we should.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  02:18, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
