UK Subs

Band vanity. Paul Klenk 07:44, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The band is certainly notable. See [1] for their extensive discography, beginning in 1977. Cnwb 07:54, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Yikes, careful with the "band vanity" tag! --Tony Sidaway^Talk 07:55, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Didn't even have to look this one up. Flowerparty ^talk 08:07, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This was previously a very large article that got speedied for copyvio. The recent creation and shortness of the article make the band vanity assumption somewhat understandable, but let's do a little research first next time, m'kay? Thatdog 08:10, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Ye ghods! Speedy keep. "Band vanity? What the Ð?" I checked two handy encyclopedias of rock music, both of which gave the UK Subs approximately the same amount of text column space as Nine Inch Nails or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. So I suppose those are the next two articles to go... Grutness...wha? 08:57, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I feel all nostalgic seeing this listed here, definitely notable as part of the UK 70's punk era. 845,000 hits on Google UK --Meiers Twins 09:47, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I didn't need to look at the article, (but I did, just to make sure), way notable to us dinosaurs in this neck of the woods. Alf 12:42, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable UK punk band from the 1970s. Capitalistroadster 13:49, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Part of UK punk rock history. --Cactus.man 15:06, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep as bad-faith nomination. Band vanity? Punkmorten 19:28, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

please assume good faith - but certainly keep --Doc (?) 21:56, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

• Emphatic keep. I've seen it all now. jamesgibbon 20:05, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - Obviously concensus has formed on this VfD. I just wanted to point out that the article does read like NN BV for someone not familiar with the group. Suggest all who are familiar with them expand the article. -PlainSight 20:26, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
  • I've made a start on it, but someone who knows more about the band should have a go at extending it further. Grutness...wha? 02:30, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep They are a notable punk band.DavidFarmbrough13:14, 01 September 2005 (BST)
