The result was keep. Not much of a quorum I know, but each of the nominator's concerns has been addressed by Michig's re-write. No reason to keep this open at this time. — CharlotteWebb 23:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Sharks[edit]
The article does not state what its subject is. It appears to be about a band, but does not state why the band is notable. The article appears largely promotional, very POV, has no real references, and appears to possibly have been copied from another website. It is uncategorized and likely to remain a stub, and does not appear to meet the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (music). IllaZilla (talk) 06:58, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per my reasons above. The band's claim to fame appears to have been winning a recording contract. They don't appear to have done anything notable and I doubt the article could be significantly improved, especially since no one has worked on it since its creation. --IllaZilla (talk) 01:00, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep and expand/cleanup. The band released several albums, with one release on Elektra. Should be enough out there to support an article. Not to be confused with other bands of the same name.--Michig (talk) 07:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Probably so. I actually stumbled across this one while working on the psychobilly article, and was expecting to find an article about the UK psychobilly band. --IllaZilla (talk) 09:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
