Toad the Wet Sprocket (British band)

 * — (View AfD)

Neutral bump up from A7 speedy. There's an assertion to notability on the article that is elaborated on the talk page: that the band's participation in Metal for Muthas means they are notable. Procedural nomination. No opinion. Kchase T 07:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Google search for "Toad the Wet Sprocket" -wikipedia found 586,000 entries, but how long will they remain so widely mentioned? Anthony Appleyard 07:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Many of those references are probably to a different, more famous band also called Toad the Wet Sprocket. This nomination is for the less famous band of that name. --Metropolitan90 07:37, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - the British band with this name had two self-released singles and some appearances on compliation albums in the early 80s. Not notable under WP:BAND.  - Justin (Authalic) 08:18, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. MER-C 08:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete - the presence of other non-notable bands on WP is not a reason to keep this, see WP:ILIKEIT. Moreschi Deletion! 11:39, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to Toad the Wet Sprocket - there are a couple claims in this article that, properly sourced, would be good to merge to the major band's article. I'm thinking maybe the "that's where they got their name from" (if indeed it was, right now the statement is unsourced) and a brief note that there was an earlier British band with the same name.

 * Delete as this fails WP:MUSIC. I'm not even sure a mention at Toad the Wet Sprocket is warrented...--Isotope23 18:02, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge These guys were on Metal For Muthas Vol. 1, which contained the highly notable NWOHBM bands on it, and we can always merge this with the article for the american TTWS band.--4.154.248.7 07:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:BAND -- The Anome 01:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
