Hydrophonica

Band with no recordings: does not meet the significance test for musical groups. Kelly Martin 03:37, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Struggling artists may wish to consider reading Wikipedia:Vanity page. — Dan Johnson 22:36, 2005 May 19 (UTC)

• Keep, they are a struggling pair of young artists and need all the help that they can get

I have no real opinion on whether or not this page is deleted, even though I am one of the said members of this band. However, I want to say something to Kelly Martin, who started the deletion of this page. I read your definition of "Band", but I think you have band confused with "Notable Music Group". The difference is, a band is a group of performers that play music, no matter how many people know about them. I think that you shouldn't be allowed to vote for the deletion of band pages, because, obviously, if they aren't big (which we won't get, and are not hoping to) they don't matter, and, in response to you other comment on your profile, I think that you are the one being a dick.

The abovegoing anonymous editor has engaged in an extensive discussion of this article and my deletion policy for bands on my user talk page. It is perhaps vaguely relevant. Kelly Martin 22:25, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep this band now has a garage band site and i would bet that they have mp3s on the way

The second Keep vote is from the same anonymous user, 159.191.12.26, as the first Keep vote. — Dan Johnson

      In a small comuinity news travels fast it probably was two difrent people in a library

• No Opinion I have to say that me and my friends retract any previous insulting comments about kelly martin or any other wiki editor. I apoligize for any harm we may have done, and will post no further. However, I would like to ask one question, is the only acceptable music group to have a page on wikipedia a "notable" one under Kelly's definition?
