That Handsome Devil

Band article whose main claim of notability is featured songs in Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero II. Their only reputable reference is a review in Amplifier Magazine, the other two are links to amazon.com and their only website is their Myspace. I don't think that having songs featured in Rock Band and Guitar Hero sufficiently fulfills WP:MUSIC. However, given further reliable sources that would establish notability, I would be compelled to withdraw this nomination. Otherwise, the article should be deleted.

Delete and consider salting: This is too many AfDs on the same subject and the article has been deleted 5 times in less than 2 years. Each AfD has resulted in a delete or a redirect. Unless there is a very good reason why it should be different this time, I think the time has come to put a stop to it. I find it interesting that a band can be featured in two very popular video games aimed at rock fans, which must give them a huge amount of potential for publicity and promotion to their target audience, and still make almost no mark at all. Maybe they are just not very good. OK. That's unfair. I haven't heard them. They might be great, but they are still not notable. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Plenty of coverage to justify an article, and I have expanded the article using these sources. See WP:BEFORE - there is no indication that anyone else here has searched for sources with which to improve the article. --Michig (talk) 14:40, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Multiple reliable sources with signfiicant coverage was added after the nomination. Schuym1 (talk) 16:40, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that the references are enough to assert notability as well as fulfill some of the WP:MUSIC criteria. If no one else has an issue with the article that was raised by my nomination, consider it withdrawn. TheLetterM (talk) 19:19, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Evidently notable and withdrawn by nominator. Colonel Warden (talk) 12:06, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
