Page about a music band. A speedy-delete developed into a long inconclusive discussion about its notability in Talk:Clacket Lane. Anthony Appleyard 18:15, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- My vote is still provisionally for deletion, as the concerns I shared at length with the article's creators on its talk page have yet to be addressed in any concrete way. The article still reads more like one of the local band promo-packet cover letters I used to write in college than a Wikipedia article. Specifically, the article is still a glorified résumé of no discernable value to Wikipedia. --Dynaflow 23:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Added some more information about the band. Still gathering info! IndieRobLB 08:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment where's that non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent, reliable, published secondary sources that we all seem to care about? -- Ekjon Lok 17:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What sort of secondary sources do you want quoting? 08:52, 28 April 2007 User:81.179.238.200

Weak keepWeak delete For what it's worth, their (minor) claim to fame is verifiable: They do have an EP published on iTunes. Coren 00:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC) I did not know that the bar to get on iTunes was so low. This is a Good Thing(tm) for indies because they don't need a big label, and not notability anymore then. Coren 13:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]- It's possible to self-publish music on iTunes through CD Baby, among other services. Having your music on iTunes isn't a claim of notability.

- Delete Two singles on i-tunes is no where near enough for WP:MUSIC - "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels" They don't even come close for the other categories of acceptance.--Dacium 01:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - i cant find any evidence that they received the airplay the article claims. the_undertow talk 01:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep Per Coren, and their album could bring about a rise in fame. Jmlk17 05:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep As of my writing, the articles claims notability through retail sales, radio airplay and a music video which is receiving play. There is much work to be done however such as properly sourcing the claims and getting a photo not made on a cell phone. JodyB 11:46, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. Eusebeus 12:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete for now. Attempts made at attribution insufficient. - SpLoT // 12:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral This reads like a band promotion or an advertisement. If someone rewrites it with references and more information, I'll be happy with keeping it. As it is though, it's hard to get excited about. mako (talk•contribs) 14:42, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, fails WP:MUSIC, WP:V, WP:NN. A directed search on Google UK (minus Wikipedia, Myspace and the band's website) turns up a desperately unexciting 45 hits. [1]. Ravenswing 14:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per above. // 3R1C 17:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Not signed, not distributed, not on the charts, not in Wikipedia. Utgard Loki 17:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - the record label has three bands, of which these guys are referred to as the 'big project'; with no albums out, and minimal outside references, they just don't meet WP:MUSIC at this time. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Delete - fails WP:Music. Horribly POV - doesn't mention that they are named after an M25 motorway service station; but goes into great detail on where the pubs are on their current tour! Rgds, --Trident13 22:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Reworded parts of article so as not to sound POV.... 12:30, 1 May 2007 User:62.6.164.210
- Perhaps the best thing is to tag the article accordingl and see what happens.Jackfirst 23:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
