Non Notable band that existed for 2 years. No major hits or placings. Fails WP:BAND CrazyAces489 (talk) 14:15, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user has a personal vendetta against me. See the past history and you'll see that the user has been attacking articles I have made. The background of the band clearly recognized their notoriety. TheGracefulSlick (talk)

I have no vendetta, but I did notice a non-notable band. Please provide strong proof of their notability! Thank you. CrazyAces489 (talk) 14:17, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Well known band in history of British rock. Contained leading musicians Mick Fleetwood and Mike Patto. Allmusic article by the highly authoritative writer Richie Unterberger again shows the band's notability. Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:32, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comment Notability not WP:INHERITED. Vote above was by TheGracefulSlick is the author of the article. CrazyAces489 (talk) 14:56, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

comment: I never voted so statement is irrelevant. I merely stated my defense which is allowed. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:18, 21 April 2015

Note The vote the user claims to be by "the author" is false. I was the author of the article, Ghmrytle has been helpful by editing the article, but that does not make him the author.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:34, 17 April 2015

Speedy Keep Notability has been clearly established. I recommend that GracefulSlick and CrazyAces back off each others' contributions for a while; I see administrative intervention in your futures. ScrapIronIV (talk) 14:50, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I merely stated my opinion to one of his/her articles for deletion, and he/she started taking it personally. But yes, I will cease interaction with the user. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 11:10, 15 April 2015

Keep - I agree that notability is weakly established by the given sources. One time, my cat sat on my Telecaster while it was plugged into an amp causing a sound to be produced not unlike the wail subsequently produced by the cat; if I were to submit that tidbit to Allmusic there would likely be an article about my "band" and its "unique feline harmony". However, being an early project of future members of Fleetwood Mac lends itself to notability, and there are a couple of decent writeups here to back it up.

Actually, there are many, many articles on bands on Wikipedia that Allmusic does not cover. That is a good thing. Ghmyrtle (talk) 20:40, 16 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Meets WP:BAND criteria number 6: "Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians" with Mick Fleetwood and Mike Patto.
