The result was Delete - Looks like Fan-1967 made a good case of debunking the keeps, especially his comment regarding the allsorts who also got invited to this festival.Blnguyen | rant-line 02:02, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bailey (band)

Was tagged for CSD-A7, but it appears to have a sliver of assertion of notability under WP:BAND so it comes here. No opinion from me - I'm just clearing CAT:CSD. ➨ ЯEDVERS 18:23, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete It's a pretty slim sliver. Relatively new band with no record company, and some airplay on a college radio station in Champaign-Urbana. Sure seems to fail WP:MUSIC. -- Fan-1967 18:30, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete NN band. Spearhead 20:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - No label, local touring only [1]. --Joelmills 02:24, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• Very Weak Keep - Someone did jump the gum on this bands entry, without having a label and all.. but if "sharing the stage with Xiu Xiu and Most Serene Republic" can be qualified with proof I would strongly recommend keeping this article. But even then it would still be a very weak keep. Let alone the typos and subtle self promotions... "follow the baloons".. — (chubbstar) ^{— talk | contrib | 10:04, 13 July 2006 (UTC)}

• Comment "Sharing the stage with" can be an awfully vague term. Someone puts on a show with touring bands, and lets a local act or two open the show. Being an opening act before a notable band doesn't make you notable. Fan-1967 14:07, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• Reply/Comment I never said it did, in fact many other Afd ive stated that i dont condone "reflected glory" that why i wanted it qualified to see if their presence was requested by these bands or how many people they played for etc. etc. because those facts (if significant enough) can push a band in to notability in my opinion. — (chubbstar) ^{— talk | contrib | 15:29, 13 July 2006 (UTC)}

• Most of the time I've seen the phrase used for some marginal band, it has turned out to be something like that, where they appeared on the same stage at the same event, but not necessarily at the same time. But perhaps author can turn up something more. Fan-1967 15:36, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I am the author and I believe this band should be considered notable not only for the fact that they are on a booking agency who also books for other noteable bands such as Husky Rescue, The Beauty Shop, Skeletons & The Girl-Faced Boys, The Headlights, The Living Blue and Liz Janes, but also because they have been invited to play at a large festival in millenium park, chicago, called Great Performers of Illinois on Sept 7th. If the state of Illinois is willing to recognize their talent then I think this band should be considered notable even though they do not have worldwide recognition yet. If not to mention all of the shows they have had with notable artists such as The Books, Of Montreal, Saturday looks good to me, Erin Tobey(twice), Rainer Maria, Head of Femur, Maserati, Xiu Xiu, andThe Most Serene Republic.Venusasaboy55 17:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Appearing on a label that also features notable acts is an acceptable criterion under WP:MUSIC. Sharing an agent with notable acts is not. Neither is appearing in the same show or festival as notable acts. The Great Performers of Illinois series ([2]) includes folk dancers, square dancers, storytellers, school choirs and orchestras, and a drum circle. Not all are notable. Seriously, I wish this group all the best, but I see nothing to indicate that they have, at this stage in their career, achieved the notability to qualify. Fan-1967 18:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
