The result was Keep. Cbrown1023 01:33, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Subject of article does not meet notability guidelines of WP:MUSIC -Nv8200p talk 17:18, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Both Mike Turner and Pete Lesperance were/are members of influential Canadian bands. That is twice the needed criteria for a band being considered notable on Wikipedia.--Nikki4982 22:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Mike Turner and Pete Lesperance both have articles where this new venture could be mentioned, but Fair Ground so far is non-notable. -Nv8200p talk 02:38, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Turner or maybe Lesperance. Meets criterion #5 for WP:BANDs, but see CDBaby.com (copyvio?). The article doesn't really have anything encyclopedic to say about the band that's not said in the other articles already. -Freekee 04:41, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep While the contents of the wiki that are currently on Wikipedia could be put on Mike and/or Pete's wikis, there is more information available on this active band that could and should be added to this one, rather than being copied and pasted on two different pages, taking up twice the space on Wikipedia.--Nikki4982 04:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Fair Ground is an active group formed by two very popular and influential Canadian musicians. Though they may be passively mentioned in each members' respective articles, there's no reason to limit it to that, as the numerous followers of both Pete Lesperance and Mike Turner would be glad to have more detailed information about Fair Ground itself.--Axtech 04:43, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It is a word for word copyright from CDBaby.com as noted above. People who want to keep it should rewrite it fast or it will be eligible for speedy deletion, I would think!!! --Slp1 01:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Slp1. GreenJoe 01:59, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply The text on this wiki was here long before the CDBaby page existed. If it is in fact not allowed here (regardless of existing here first), I will gladly attempt to re-write the bio. I'll warn everyone now that I'm no good with words and sounding official, though.--Nikki4982 05:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
