You Call This Music?! Volume 2
Delete; non-notable, with only 64 Googles. King of Hearts | (talk) 23:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep; Does only 64 google entries really cause an entry to be non-notable? What number of google entries makes something notable? 64 isn't pages and pages of results, but seems like a large enough number to remain notable. PS-My search brought up 69.... Madangry 00:01, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: the preceding comment was made by the creator of the article. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I second that verification. But King of Hearts, you did not answer the question. And I still have no idea how google can be a basis of non-notability. Madangry 00:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * (copied from User talk:King of Hearts): The Google test is just a rough guideline to check for notability, and less than 100 results probably isn't enough. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:51, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * For future voters on this article, copied from The Google test: "This technique works reasonably well for weeding out hoaxes, fictions, and personal theories and hypotheses. It can also be used to ascertain whether a topic is of sufficiently broad interest to merit inclusion in the wiki, though this application is highly subject to bias...In some cases, articles have been kept with Google hit counts as low as 15 and some claim that this undermines the validity of the Google test in its entirety. However, in fact, this reflects on the rather uneven and subjective nature of the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion process more than on the usefulness of the Google test. The Google test has always been and very likely always will remain an imperfect tool used to produce a general gauge of notability. It is not and should never be considered definitive." .Madangry 00:58, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * See User talk:King of Hearts for additional thoughts on Google relevance for underground punk albums. Madangry 01:34, 31 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Given that Wikipedia is mainstream, doesn't adding underground punk acts compromise their rebellious spirit (or some other inane excuse the glue-sniffing retards use for living in a slum and making music that sounds like a man vomiting on a microphone). --Agamemnon2 10:21, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * What is up with personal feelings on this deletion? Deletion should have nothing to do with personal feelings toward a subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Remember that. (PS-Agamemnon: your user page says you listen to Iron Maiden....and this according to my own personal feelings (since we're doing that now) is what a band sounds like making music that "sounds like a man vomiting on a microphone.") Madangry 15:48, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Regardless of what you think about including or not including "punk acts" and how it would comprimise those "punk acts" that does not mean Wikipedia does not already have punk album-related articles and that compromising their spirit means it should be deleted. Look under Wikipedia deletion FAQs. Madangry 15:54, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

**Comment. Madangry, are you sure that excerpt doesn't violate WP:COPY? EdGl 21:29, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I haven't seen any proper or real rationales given to either keep or delete this article. Johnleemk | Talk 05:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup, it has potential. Ardenn 07:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: Difficult. It read like a promotional release, but I've cleaned it up a little. I think at the end of the day if the record label is notable this ought to be considered notable too? --kingboyk 08:14, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks promotional, and is non-notable by Google. - Corbin Simpson 19:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, cleanup and expand This can be made into a useful article yet - [[Image:Flag of Great Britain (1707-1800).svg|20px]] • | ĐÜ§§§Ť | •  T 21:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Some (only a few) of the bands on this compilation have articles on them, so maybe if one could check out these articles for notability, then it could maybe decide whether we should delete this article or not. Check the bands on the compilation You Call This Music?! Volume 1 as well. EdGl 22:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Cleanup would be a good idea! I agree with Kingboyk... Madangry 23:24, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: This user has voted twice. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 05:02, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless the article comes to make some sort of claim of notability. Tuf-Kat 03:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * COMMENT In response to notability, added an excerpt from an OC Weekly SPOTLIGHT review which was published shortly after the release and still available online after a quick search. No contest the reviewer saw the CD as quite notable, if not a great impact to the genre. Madangry 21:23, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Should I change it to a link to said article? I was basically trying to provide evidence of notability. Please advise. Madangry 22:52, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Obvious Keep, compilation was released by a notable record label and was given an OC Weekly review... EdGl 01:12, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * ...and the bands on this compilation cd are notable; "Toys That Kill" gets 72,900 Google hits "Jag Offs" gets 11,700 Google hits "Nazis from Mars" gets 12,500 Google hits "Intro5pect" gets 25,500 Google hits "Operation Cliff Clavin" gets 89,500 Google hits "Peelander-Z" gets 60,600 Google hits "Lipstick Pickups" gets 19,600 Google hits "The Devil is Electric" gets 11,000 Google hits EdGl 01:46, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
