Somebody with no self-control decided to vandalize it. I'll work on this page when I have an opportunity to do so.
In the meantime... Hello!
...and would an admin please check the vandalism and the user who decided to pee electronically on this page? Many thanks. B.Wind 01:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

BW's new rules for AfDs (to be added as they arrive to me)
Television programs
1. If the article of a TV program doesn't indicate where the show was/is broadcast (network, local channel, or syndicated), I shall immediately conclude that the article deserves deletion, regardless of notability of the program.
Musical groups
1. One (or two) sentence articles indicate lack of noteworthiness and should be deleted.
2. Articles of musical acts must include (at least a partial) lineup for legitimacy. No bandmembers' names mean no notoriety.
3. In almost every case, the notability of an up-and-coming group is greater than that of any member in it. The only exceptions are groups that are joined/formed by an established musician.
4. First-person articles are vanity; second-person articles are spam.
5. There are two things you can do with a band article that is an orphan: you can "adopt it" by finding an appropriate article that can make a worthwhile Wikilink to it, or you can put it out of its misery. If a band's article is an orphan, think about why it is an orphan in the first place.
6. The harder a band member fights an AfD, the more likely the delete vote is the correct one. Notable musicians don't have the time to do the fighting. This, admittedly, is further proof I'm a total deletionist fuckwit. I know in my heart and in my head that notable musicians do indeed have the time to uphold the fight to maintain their dignity, particularly during "down time" on tours, but I'm such a stubborn piece of shit that I refuse to see why even fairly obscure acts may have honest-to-God, genuine value for Misplaced Pages. I prefer to use the catch-all cry of "not notable" to keep articles I disagree with off this collaborative resource.
