- Yes i do. A band is not considered notable enough to go on a wikipedia band list unless it has its own article. This does not mean that simply creating an article for every band gives them notability, they still have to demonstrate notability on their articles--Jac16888 (talk) 12:11, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- You can't assume they aren't notable just because no one has written articles for them. 86.44.30.169 (talk) 00:11, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
