[WikiEN-l] Turn off AfD

Using WP:MUSIC as a criterion for speedies would be a disaster.  The
kind of judgement required by WP:MUSIC and similar guidelines is
rather subjective and requires some research to be done--which
newpages patrollers are, perhaps understandably, reluctant to do.

I don't  have any personal issue with band vanity.  Most of it should
be deleted under the verifiability criterion, which doesn't really
require the kind of debate we have on AfD.  Just have a "verifiability
problems" page (like copyright problems) and people can edit the
articles to add verification.  After a month or so if the existence of
the band isn't verifiable it should be deleted.  This would apply to
other classes of article whose subject matter isn't verifiable.
