The Piccadilly Rats[edit]

Fails notability. Further, the author has stated that he has a connection with the band as their manager, and despite a friendly note from me has refused to declare his COI and has accused me of tampering with that article on my talk page. Suggest deletion of this article, although the band manager (whos also the author of this article, by his own admission) means well, Wikipedia is not the place to publicize your band.

Comment: There needs to be actual discussion for this to be deleted, if there is none, it will probably have to be closed as no consensus. Gamebuster19901 (Talk║Contributions) 13:12, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I was about to close this as no consensus due to lack of discussion and be done with it, but as it's just been relisted, I'll make my opinion official. Sources indicate local notability; in my opinion that's good enough. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 15:17, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
