Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Sloppy Seconds

I would just like to say that those nominating Sloppy Seconds seemed to me to have done so for personal reasons: obviously they did not like the band's image and lyrics. This is a rather frightening fact for bands that ought to be included on Wikipedia. Not only did the band meet the criteria for NOT being deleted on several counts, they're known well enough within the punk scene, which arguably means they have some influence. I agree that a wiki page on, say, my brother's high school band that never played more than five shows and never recorded a thing, should without question be deleted. But lesser-known bands that were only around for a short time and never recorded more than a single album have had a great deal of influence and impact, and it isn't always easy to find sources to cite in order to prove this fact. I can only say that I hope that people are not so eager to dismiss bands categorically simply out of their ignorance towards the band.--Reverend Distopia 19:31, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
