The Pinstripes

Not notable, only reference is of citybeat which does articles on 100's of local bands each year 74.129.0.221 22:11, 18 February 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Delete - Obvious failure to meet WP:BAND. How many ska bands are there in London anyway? Unrelated to the AfD itself, someone should talk a bit more forcefully to User:RasterFaAye, whom I see has a habit of de-PROD-ing articles without much explanation or effort to improve them, as this particular case. §FreeRangeFrog 22:26, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I only deprod a small number of articles, and often for procedural reasons. Those I do deprod, I do so because I believe deletion is not uncontroversial. RasterFaAye (talk) 22:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Judging from your talk page, I disagree. And deletion is rarely uncontroversial, which is why there's a process built around consensus for it. Anyway, this is hardly the place to discuss it. §FreeRangeFrog 23:09, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does make for some interesting reading though. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 02:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not uncontroversial delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. Searching pulls up no reliable, third-party, sources. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 02:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: no significant 3rd party sources WP:BAND. JamesBurns (talk) 05:53, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - they may become notable in the future but not there yet. A single local paper article isn't enough to establish notability -- Whpq (talk) 19:37, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
