I'm afraid I don't understand the reason for the proposed deletion. What is nn-band? Ballabosh 00:48, 7 October 2006 (UTC) 23:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- nn-band means "non-notable band". This article is being proposed for deletion because apparently the band isn't notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. --Nishkid64 23:42, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. OK, then I will contest this proposed deletion. I'm not sure what proof I can present to convince people, but The Slugs are very popular in Chicago. Whenever they manage to get together for a concert or release, it is invariably reported in the entertainment section of the Trib and/or the Sun-Times. Also the fact that the lead singer has been in a very popular band, Poi Dog Pondering, should be taken into account, as well as the fact that the band's songs have been featured in a couple of very popular telvision shows. Finally, their are plenty of other bands which could be considered more non-notable than the Slugs (and probably other artists/artworks as well). Just click on any list from Category:Lists of musicians by genre, and you'll see many non-notable artists. Note that I am not suggesting that these entries be deleted as well, just that the Slugs get as much consideration as those bands do. Ballabosh 00:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
- Unless only RnR Hall of Fame bands are to be listed, this band is certainly notable enough to be included in Wikipedia.Briarbowl
