Per WP:NOTWEBHOST. No indication that this band will meet WP:BAND any time soon or that this article will survive in the main space. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 11:11, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe, but I think you have to let him try for a lot longer time than has been allowed. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  11:22, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Comment I'm preparing this article for publication when the band are notable enough to qualify for a mainspace page. You must be allowed one subpage, surely? I've seen people prepare articles for publication through making subpages and waiting until the article matter is notable enough before. Agadabagada (talk) 13:15, 18 April 2011 (UTC) I'm not trying to use Wikipedia as a promotion tool. I've been here before you know, as a user who made over 500 edits. I know how this thing works.

 * Delete. There isn't a chance that this band will become notable within the reasonable time period we allow for article development in userspace. WP:HAMMER, WP:FAKEARTICLE and WP:NOTWEBHOST all apply here. Thryduulf (talk) 12:29, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Blank, don't delete. The page is currently looking like a typical non-wikipedia-notable band without any independent references that is probably only posted here as promotion.  However, as the author is new, active, and talking to us, give him more time, but tell him to keep the page blanked while he is not actually working on it.  I have added NOINDEX.  Agadabagada, there is no limit to the number of subpages, or time limits, but we are particularly sensitive about being used for promotion.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Then you should understand that we don't allow premature articles to exist in userspace indefinitely. It is likely going to be several years before this band are going to be notable enough for an article. Read the pages linked above, particularly Notability (music) (also known by the shortcut WP:NBAND) to see what is required before they'll be considered notable enough.

Hey, this is Andrew Racklyeft, the rhythm guitarist of The Turdpercy Gang. Just like to say that we are a valid and real band. :) 94.2.184.89 (talk) 13:52, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:FAKEARTICLE states: "Userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles, old revisions, or deleted content, or your preferred version of disputed content. Private copies of pages that are being used solely for long-term archival purposes may be subject to deletion. Short term hosting of potentially valid articles and other reasonable content under development or in active use is usually acceptable..." A band that "performed together for the very first time on Friday 8th April 2011" is highly unlikely to become notable within six months. This is not a "potentially valid articl[e]" as required by FAKEARTICLE. I strongly agree with 's incisive comments about how WP:NOTWEBHOST is applicable here. Delete also per WP:NOTADVERTISING.
