The Pist

Delete, Probably vanity & non-notable. Pist + "destroy society" = 178 hits on google. Pist + "ideas are bulletproof" = 318 141.151.160.53 10:12, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• 141.151.160.53, for your information, normally many here on Wikipedia use the criteria on WP:MUSIC to judge a bands notability, not Google hits. Zzyzx11 | Talk 10:34, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Talk:The Pist appears to indicate that this article survived VFD back in January since it contains that previous VFD discussion. Zzyzx11 | Talk 10:19, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment the only portion of the WP:MUSIC criteria that this band seem to meet is having toured the U.S. which is really not a big or unusual accomplishment for a punk band. 141.151.160.53 10:42, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Whether that's big or unusual, the music notability guidelines say they only have to meet ONE criterion on the list. —Wahoofive | Talk 21:45, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, tours and album will do for me. Kappa 00:12, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, All Music Guide lists them with the album and it seems from googling that they were reasonably influential in the Connecticut/New York punk scene in the 1990s. Meet Wikimusic project guidelines. Capitalistroadster 00:41, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Pretty well known punk band. I think the noise band I was in in college opened for them once, if memory serves. Article needs work, though. -R. fiend 15:31, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep (again). Grue 18:33, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable enough for me. --Myles Long 15:48, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
