Animus (band)[edit]

This is a new (2009) band, with no indication that it has been signed. No web presence could be found via google (indicating but not proving limited notability). Of the two sources cited, one has so far been unverifiable (though someone with access to the paper's hard-copy archives might try). The second is a web forum (so not a reliable source), where no mention of Animus or the band's founder could be found by me.

None of the criteria at WP:BAND appear to be met. AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 08:44, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nom. First source fails WP:V, second fails WP:RS. Band does not meet WP:N/WP:BAND. AlmostReadytoFly (talk) 09:02, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete. Band is not specifically notable as a band, as noted above. It also fails the general notability guidelines. Additionally, the reference to the Stratford Herald interview is so vague that it's difficult, if not impossible, to verify that source. I'm just this side of speedy deleting it under A7. —C.Fred (talk) 12:38, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Chances are, any music article containing the words "they have performed various gigs around the area" and then proceeds to list covers played by the band doesn't meet the notability guidelines. Doesn't help that the band was formed this year, with no otherwise famous founding musicians. Daniel815 (talk) 16:15, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete – most definitely not meeting WP:BAND and I nearly did speedy delete it myself til I saw AfD notice. – B.hotep •talk• 22:03, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
