Neutral - I'm listed as the author of the article, in truth I merely added it as a part of clearing the WP:AfC backlog and the requester was responsible for demonstrating notability. SteveBaker (talk) 13:51, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article is about a band. I would have expected this to be about Spy vs. Spy, the long running Mad magazine cartoon. If kept I'd suggest moving this to Spy Versus Spy (band) and adding this to the Spy vs. Spy (disambiguation). - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:33, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I would certainly support a rename. However, that issue does not relate to this AfD. SteveBaker (talk) 19:47, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, not really; on the other hand, neither the title nor the nomination said what the subject of the article was. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 20:38, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment whatever happens, this should redirect to Spy vs. Spy or Spy vs. Spy (disambiguation). If this is kept, it should be renamed. If this is deleted, a redirect should be created. 184.144.163.181 (talk) 04:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment - just to note that there is a very notable 80s band from Australia at Spy_vs_Spy_(Australian_band) that should prevent the use of any (band) qualifier without further disambiguation (ie (English band)) or similar.The-Pope (talk) 11:44, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. For what I read I have this feeling that there might be something available offline from the time they first formed (1998-2003), but online the information is very scarce. One song is included at The Emo Diaries Chapter 4. The source is primary but it is reasonable to think that the reviews quoted on the bottom are legit. Still, even though Spy versus Spy are praised for their performance, the reviews are certainly concerned with the compilation instead, and other participating artists are given as much praise as well. Something to note is that the article's content is a carbon copy of this last.fm profile - frankieMR (talk) 23:48, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
