But just because a band fails to meet the "notability guidelines" doesn't mean we should delete it. It's not a bad argument for doing so, admittedly.
I believe such guidelines are effectively a good guide for keeping, not deletion. If we could have a speedy keep criterion for the topic, and so forth.
In other words, if the WP:MUSIC guidelines spit out 'Yes, is notable', we should pretty much always keep the article. However, if the article fails WP:MUSIC, it is not an automatic delete, since other factors might make the article worthwhile.
