Send More Paramedics

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Band does not meet any of the criteria of WP:MUSIC. Several editors have had their hands in this article, so the band has a few fans at least, but no indications of any degree of notability. No secondary sources given, nor could any be found with significant coverage. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:33, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also nominating the band's albums:

A Feast for the Fallen (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Delete, while I did find an album review [1], that was it. I also found this, but in my book, advertising in the local paper that you've got a video shoot on isn't exactly significant coverage. Fails to establish notability per WP:MUSICBIO with significant coverage in reliable, third-party, sources. If the band article does end up getting deleted the albums will be taken care of under speedy A9. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 23:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The following remark is transcluded from the talk page

Keep: "Rock and roll has got to go." Randy RALEY, 1958. One by one, KWK St. Louis broke every single rock and roll album in their inventory. In the end, the station closed as their listenership dropped.

This is the same thing; Deleting the entry just becasue they're not a band "anymore" is like deleting the Elvis page becasue he's not a singer anymore (he's dead).65.100.56.249 (talk) 15:57, 9 September 2009 (UTC)A REDSON[reply]

End of transclusion.

The page isn't up for deletion because they're not a band anymore. The page is up for deletion because, even while they were a band, they did not achieve the degree of notability required by WP:MUSIC. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete a lack of sources means the band isn't notable enough. Deserted Cities 04:15, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep. Fairly well known band in the UK, and they've received quite a bit of coverage, for example from the BBC, Gigwise, Drowned in Sound, and DiS again.--Michig (talk) 06:24, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for finding those references. I didn't find them in my initial search. It would be of great help if they could be added to the article. For now, I'll withdraw the nomination. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:30, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn per above comments and newly found references. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:30, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added these. Thanks.--Michig (talk) 13:27, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sources have been found since the article was nominated for deletion, and the band appears to be notable per WP:MUSIC criteria #1 and possibly #4. snigbrook (talk) 23:08, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
