The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete - the keep recommendations did not substantiate why or how the band meets WP:MUSIC and I note that Orangehead had only AfD "votes" at the time he participated in this debate.Blnguyen | rant-line 04:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quit (band)

Does not seem to satisfy the band notability criteria at WP:MUSIC. Does not show up at allmusic. Tempshill 16:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. --nathanbeach 16:16, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - obviously, the article lacks sources, but I'm sure they're there. I managed to find this on Amazon. Because their name is such a common word, it's hard to wade through the Google hits, even if you add Florida or punk to the search. Maybe if editors spent more time trying to expand articles rather than delete them, we could make Wikipedia the best encyclopedia it can be. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 17:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I can find no evidence of notability for the band at this time. I found one article from 1996 talking about them re-releasing an album but that is it. Like above it's hard to wade through so many results to find something relevant, but without any other sources to establish some type of notability I am resigned to say delete. Perhaps there are some editors who know more about the Punk scene in Miami than I can add some additional info on this. DrunkenSmurf 17:42, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Delete as per nom. This might be notable, but it's the responsibility of author(s) to establish verifiable sources to support notability. The Burden of Proof to cite sources lays with those who wrote the article -- not the rest of us. If someone can cite some verifiable sources to establish notability, I'd be happy to reconsider my position. Scorpiondollprincess 18:58, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Little found on a google search of "quit" + "addison burns" [1]. Only saw mentions of local touring and local press. No label according to their myspace site. --Joelmills 00:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep lets keep it for a little while and encourage the writers to provide more sources and make it more substantial. This may have been someones first article. I have peripherally heard of this band and any band that claimed pop punk before 1992/91 is pretty notable because those kinds of bands are pretty rare... also check out the history page, there are a bunch of different users editing so this group has a little traction. Lets encourage and not delete... we can put this in the category of articles that need work. Xsxex 14:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I attempted to contact the band by sending a message to their myspace account. hopefully they will be able to prove hard references. lets wait for a week ir so to give this some time. by the way their myspace is pretty good. they have 4 songs for download and the music is good. http://www.myspace.com/earlierthoughts. peace, xsxex in chicago Xsxex 15:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as above. Orangehead 17:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Fails WP:Music. Cleaner to delete now and they can come back if they can source notability rather than hanging on in hope. BlueValour 03:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per BlueValour. Non-notable. Ifnord 15:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
