The Dumpy test is a brief
notability of a musical group or band and whether or not they should have an article. The test is simply : "Has this band achieved as much as Dumpy's Rusty Nuts
"?
For the unfamiliar, a key claim to notability for this band is being routinely mocked and satirised in our guidelines for inclusion.
Therefore, it stands to reason that if your band can't even manage what Dumpy has done, the odds are highly likely that your band article just isn't suitable for Wikipedia and has a strong chance of being
faster than a speeding guitar solo
.
If biker metal bands aren't your thing, a variation on this theme is the HMHB Test, comparing your band article to the much loved (and top 60 charting) Half Man Half Biscuit.
