[edit] Dirtfedd

Dirtfedd (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This was nominated for speedy deletion, but the claim of a national tour gave me pause, since I know nothing about modern music. However, article reads like vanity, so I'll go delete, pending other opinions. Xoloz 04:21, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete There's nothing in this article that suggests that this band meets WP:MUSIC, and a low number of Google results ([1]) seems to confirm that Dirtfedd don't make it over the notability bar. --Hyperbole 07:21, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. From the New Music Network (listed as a source): "Clear Channel has partnered with GarageBand to showcase the best undiscovered talent on our radio station websites."[2] - Mgm|^(talk) 10:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - First of all, this isn't vanity, and I don't know how exactly it "reads like vanity". I'm not a member of the band, nor am I in any way associated with the band. As I've pointed out on the talk page, I find that this article meets number 7 under "Criteria for musicians and ensembles" on WP:BAND. All of the information in the article has been sourced. While I understand that they may be perceived as a small and unsigned band, and therefore causes some to believe that this is in fact a vanity page, this is not the case. I put a lot of work into this one. Hopefully it won't be deleted, but I'm afraid that it will be. --emc! ╬ ^{(t a l k)} 21:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Number 7 states: Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. Where is your verifiable evidence that a small unsigned band has become the most prominent representative of a notable style? IrishGuy ^talk 22:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete non-notable unsigned band. IrishGuy ^talk 22:12, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Looks NN to me. WMMartin 16:48, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per Google hits. Sharkface217 03:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Beyond the fact that the vast majority of google hits are MySpace and various other blogs, how is google hits a criteria of WP:BAND? IrishGuy ^talk 05:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
