Contested prod, band fails WP:MUSIC - a one paragraph bio on Allmusic does not satisfy the notability threshold, nor do the other trivial or user-edited website mentions given. 2 says you, says two 20:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Woha! Hadn't checked this since I put it up... I stand corrected and I'm sorry for wasting your time. 2 says you, says two 21:51, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep Are you kidding? [1] I saw Labradford on one of their European tours. Catfish Jim and the soapdish (talk) 20:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- 'Keep FFS! Around for years, toured internationally, half a dozen albums released. Andy Dingley (talk) 21:16, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strongest possible keep. Meet the general notability guideline as well as the inclusion criteria for bands through releasing multiple records on "one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)". Coverage here, here, here, here, here and here. That allmusic info isn't just one paragraph either, they review every album. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 21:34, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep the article doesn't do an especially wonderful job of clearly expressing notability, but they are. Some potential sources include Washinton Post, Chicago Tribune, and Richmond Times Dispatch. Definitely notable enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:40, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep. Seriously, a quick search on Google Books should be sufficient to determine notability.--Michig (talk) 10:45, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep I contested the prod, and gave my reasons in both the edit summary and on the discussion page. Bit of a silly nomination, IMHO. Anyway, this AfD has served it's purpose - the article now contains reliable sources thanks to the editors above, and many, many more are easily available via Google. Meets WP:MUSIC, by some distance. sparkl!sm hey! 15:28, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep. Obviously satisfies WP:BAND and WP:GNG. Why is this AfD still even open? Bondegezou (talk) 14:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
