In addition to the common arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, the following is a list of arguments that are not recommended when participating in such a discussion:
Existence
- Keep Reliable sources make it very clear this band exists – I heard them 01:01, 1 January 2001 (UTC)
Proof of a band's existence or trivial mentions of a band, even in a reliable source, do not indicate notability.
Publicity
- Keep This article is a great way to help our band in getting to be known – I heard them 01:01, 1 January 2001 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a free advertising space.
Popularity
- Keep This band gets sellout crowds at all its concerts – Standing room only 01:01, 1 January 2001 (UTC)
Popularity does not determine notability.
Airplay
- Keep This band's singles are in constant rotation on college radio – Standing room only 01:01, 1 January 2001 (UTC)
Being played on the radio does not contribute to notability.
