Sorry, but a band which is less than a year old, has not released anything and "intends to record a demo during the winter of 2005-06." does not pass WP:MUSIC guidelines for inclusion. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:55, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom... with so many band vanity pages springing up, I'd really like to see a speedy for bands that don't meet WP:MUSIC.--Isotope23 15:35, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually I voted against the band vanity speedy proposal because I felt that a band could perhaps be notable even if it didn't meet the guidelines of WP:MUSIC. Also, I have seen some deletion debates which have been branded "band vanity" by the nominator, and then wound up being kept simply because the original author (usually a newbie) didn't know that it's a good idea to list all the releases, jot down their awards, etc. Yes, such pages which wind up on AFD are a bit time consuming, but if it means we save some articles which, after some investigation, definitely should not be deleted, I think it's worth it.

• Delete per nom, I'm not sure that they're springing up so much as being found, and with some of them being so borderline I think a speedy might over-simplify some of the cases. Mallocks 22:15, 5 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
