Boyd Rice and Friends
This page was originally created as Music Martinis and Misanthropy. I moved it to its present location, intending to make it a page about the band instead of a single album, when I realized that there weren't actually any quotes from or about the album or the band, except for the text which reads like the album's liner notes. &mdash;LrdChaos 14:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: delete (2 Deletes; 1 Merge; no one chose to merge any quotes). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 19:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. &mdash;LrdChaos 14:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with Boyd Rice, if there are any salvageable quotes to move. ~ UDScott 15:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see anything in the article worth merging, frankly. Liner notes rarely make for pithy quotes, and copying the whole text is probably a copyvio. I've wondered about this article for a while. 66.52.252.210 created it over 18 months ago, as their sole edit, putting it in Category:Boyd Rice and Friends albums (the only album-list category we've ever had), as if to start adding quotes (or maybe just liner notes) from other albums as well. A week later, 66.52.247.28 (very likely the same person) created Boyd Rice, but added arguably useful quotes at least. (This IP address only contributed one other edit, creating the Anton LaVey stub, containing only a quote from — you guessed it — Boyd Rice.) Deleting the band article won't lose any meaningful quotes and will make the unnecessary category disappear as well, leaving the Boyd Rice stub for future expansion. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:46, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
