The result was delete. The band probably is notable, but the keepists made no argument as why the album is notable. Wizardman 16:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

We Are the Dynamite!

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This is a non-notable yet-to-be-released album by a non-notable band. A Google search produces only Youtube, Myspace and a BBC Wales entry on a site where up and coming bands can upload their own profile. B1atv 07:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Doesn't get close to WP:BAND. - Dom the dude 001 02:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep If you can't nominate an article for deletion without insulting the band, you're not going to get much support. U-Mos 17:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Can you please tell me where I have insulted anybody? (And why your user page redirects to an article?) B1atv 12:32, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You didn't give a good reason for them being non-notable, and as they are a reasonably well known band with a large following I just interpret that as "I don't like them, so the article should die". And my user page can be a redirect if I want it to be, can't it? U-Mos 18:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Please don't try to interpret anything I say. It is not necessary as I say what I mean in very clear terms.  I don't know if I like them or not because I haven't heard of them; and I did give a reason for them being non notable.  I said: "A Google search produces only Youtube, Myspace and a BBC Wales entry on a site where up and coming bands can upload their own profile".  The criteria for a band being notable is outlined at Notability_%28music%29  it is for the article to explain how they fulfil those criteria.  It doesn't.  I did my own research and found nothing to suggest that it complies.
 * With regards to user pages redirecting to article space, I don't think that is allowed because it has the potential to confuse. Users aren't allowed to have a user name which is the same as something or someone else - you have (allbeit fictional), and rather than being a coincidence you redirect your user name to an article about U-Mos. I think you should consider changing it.  B1atv 06:46, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but this band is notable. To directly tackle the points in the article you linked to above, come next Monday they will have two album releases. They are headlining a concert tour later this year, and have previously toured with Lostprophets. They have been played on Radio 1. Basically, they reach notability as does, in my opinion, any band who have got further than the local clubs and etc. U-Mos 15:55, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - Band is notable (AfD them if you like), and that makes the album notable. WP:BAND. Get some sources. Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O) 04:02, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
