I would certainly not agree with making the failing of the WP:MUSIC
tests as a criterion for speedy deletion - or indeed any other of
these guidelines.  I agree that a decent article on a band that passes
WP:MUSIC *should never* be deleted, but that there are grounds for
keeping beyond those included in any such set of guidelines.

I also don't, bluntly, trust every admin out there to apply complex
criteria fairly (in either direction).
