Startools

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and relying on a single source for referencing. Also WP:COI, as it was originally created by an editor whose username matches the name of one of the band members. Original AFD in 2006 was kept on the basis that it failed NMUSIC but made other "interesting" claims that were worth keeping anyway — but there's a difference between "interesting" claims and encyclopedic claims, and it's the latter, not the former, that gets a band into Wikipedia. (And also, we're just generally a lot less forgiving of articles that make no real claim of notability in 2015 than we were ten years ago when our notability rules were still being made up and refined as we went along.)

Delete because all my searches (News, Books, browser, highbeam and thefreelibrary) found no good results aside from this. SwisterTwister talk 04:18, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I agree with nominator. I do see there were some trivial mentions brought up in the first nomination, but to me, there's barely any coverage or anything notable about this group that warrants a page. Almost certainly a WP:PERMASTUB. mikeman67 (talk) 15:02, 22 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
