Has been on patrol page for a month, no reliable references. Should be rolled into the Low Anthem article, if anything. -Jordgette [talk] 05:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Non-notable band from non-notable member of another band. Reference overload there with nothing of substance. Fails WP:BAND. §FreeRangeFrog 06:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Retain Apologies if this band is thought to be non-notable but I disagree. The artist is currently touring in USA, has already played in UK and is due to play at a significant festival in UK again in 2013 [1]. He is now releasing his second album (demonstrating longevity). He has signed to a notable UK record label (established in 1994) (showing international recognition, not just domestic recognition). His current single has already been played on the UK's most important independent national radio station (XFM), on the national BBC (6 Music) and on the quickest growing online station (Amazing Radio). He was formerly a full member of a very notable, current, international band (Low Anthem). I have been careful to provide several references which are independent and, in some cases (e.g. record label site) official. It is entirely incorrect for another user to say that there are "no reliable references".Arseur (talk) 15:31, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't mean that the references provided were unreliable, but that Wikipedia has a specific definition of a reliable source. This would be something like a mention in a national magazine or non-local newspaper, or being cited as noteworthy by a well-known notable artist. The airplay lists are close, but I still think Futur Primitif should be rolled into The Low Anthem until we have more indication of the band's importance or influence. -Jordgette [talk] 21:44, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Retain. For the reasons Arseur mentions above. 1292simon (talk) 07:19, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - per WP:BAND, most of the sources are not articles directly about the band. For example the BBC source is merely a playlist from an evening where their song was played. They have not produced a hit single, released a full album that has achieved success, nor been the subject of a wide variety of notable third party sources.
