Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BloodRuby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Vanity, and sort of a homepage extension with links to all their songs in mp3. 90 google hits for "Blood Ruby" Thomas Wall. The band "continues to work on its first full-length CD". Delete, possibly add again when famous. Also delete redirect Blood ruby and Image:Smallersplash.jpg -- Chris 73 | (New) Talk 06:59, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree, if they don't even have an album, they don't belong. When album is recorded (assuming it's not self-published and is moderately well known) we can have a page on them (obviously not this one--POV problems). Meelar 07:03, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, the subheadings make it a clear puff piece. --bodnotbod 11:18, May 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Reads like an ad. They can try again when they have an album out. Delete -- Cyrius|&#9998 15:04, May 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete vanity. RickK 20:07, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Looks like the article was written by the band for publicity. If they haven't even gotten their first album out, they don't deserve a page. -Frazzydee 20:56, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: vanity, advert. They have a cool logo, though. Wile E. Heresiarch 13:52, 3 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is clearly written by a PR flack, thus it's Wikispam. Alcarillo 15:49, 3 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Since when is an encyclopedia a forum for PR? They should fire their PR rep while they're at it, assuming they have one in the first place. - Lucky 6.9 18:32, 3 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete ad. Cribcage 02:41, 8 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, it sucks in it's current form, but should be cleaned up rather than deleted. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 13:34, 2004 May 8 (UTC)
I suggest this whole thread be deemed void and this vote be started again, i rewrote the whole article to a NPOV (see this diff) so the votes cast here really dont count since they all reflect a judgement on the old article, it would be a shame to delete this now. (Disclaimer: I am not involved with Blood Ruby nor have i ever listened to their music) --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 14:40, 2004 May 8 (UTC)
In cases like these, usually we just keep the thread going and people will change their comments as they see fit. Our fine sysops implementing deletion (hi Angela! :) will consider the article changes when it's time to execute the deletion-or-keeping. - Fennec 14:50, May 8, 2004 (UTC)
The general rule is that performers need an audience of 5,000 or more to be included. My vote stands. Deletion votes should NOT be deemed void as people can strike out their votes if they wish to change them. --bodnotbod 15:08, May 8, 2004 (UTC)
  • POV or otherwise, it's still not famous. Delete anyway. - Fennec 14:50, May 8, 2004 (UTC)
