This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:16, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - this links to an article about a band, not a word. Has the correct article been nominated? (WP:COPYVIO though, tagged) ~Excesses~ (talk) 14:45, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- When there's a non-infringing version in the history, revert the copyright violation. See the instructions.
  And the nominator is probably saying that the band is non-notable. Although it's not clear what band xe was talking about, because at the time of nomination this article had been heavily vandalised. (Although not as heavily as at some points during its history, such as the point where it was a treatise on someone's cat, for example.) I've reverted the vandalism, too.

Keep - Smudge, if you read the Allmusic listing you'll see that the band have had a number of international releases on US and AUS labels, they have toured Europe and Australia. If you do an internet search you'll also find there are a significant number of independent references to the band on Australian and UK websites. The band's founder, Tom Morgan is notable musician. All of which clearly indicate that the band satisfies the criteria for notability. Dan arndt (talk) 03:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Smudge, appears in Ian McFarlane's Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop, see on-line copy available at Encyclopedia entry for 'Smudge'. This entry supports much of the existing content of wikipedia article. The band had produced five albums/eps by 1999. Due to all of the above they are notable enough.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 10:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
