[edit] Lismore (band)

Non-notable per WP:MUSIC -Nv8200p talk 16:07, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Seems to meet the press coverage requirement, plus 805 unique Ghits with the phrase "Lismore" new jersey band -wikipedia. AllMusicGuide recognizes them, too. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 16:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - It appears they went on a national tour in a large country per Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,[1] reported in notable and verifiable sources. --Porqin 16:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as per above. -(chubbstar)^{— talk | contrib | 16:37, 26 July 2006 (UTC)}
  • Comment - Out of that press list most are legitmatly published and distributed (not a zine or a blog, of which are are few) newspapers, many of which are distributed outside thier area. Also, any mention on allmusic is very notable considering they have standards for what they review. Furthermore, the international tour should credit thier notability alone, espically considering it was not as a supporting band.-(chubbstar)^{— talk | contrib | 16:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)}

• You mean national tour, right? --Porqin 17:09, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

• Uhhhhh... yes. Oops. Also, if it counts for anything, they have over 4000 Myspace user friends almost 30 000 views.-(chubbstar)^{— talk | contrib | 19:28, 26 July 2006 (UTC)}

• Delete I don't think anything in that huge list of press articles comes from a reliable source (even the NJ.com article comes from a blog and not one of the many papers that web site supports, such as the Star-Ledger), and I don't consider a dozen shows in small, non-notable clubs- all in the Eastern Time Zone- with anoter non-notable band as a "national tour". In addition, the article doesn't even assert the notability that their own web site does, and of the first 30 hits from Parssssel's (BTW, nice to see you again) search, more than half are unrelated to the band. -- Kicking222 16:39, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete That's not a national tour, it's a regional tour. --MECU≈talk 00:32, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, and her little dog too. Last.fm test: 619 listeners. That's getting some attention -- I know interesting artists who have a fraction of that -- but it doesn't demonstrate wide notability yet. --Dhartung | Talk 06:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Lismore is a well established band that deserves a page on an encyclopedia. Besides, even though they have 619 listeners on Last.fm, it might be possible that the target market of the website does not include people that enjoy that specific genre considering electronic music has never really gotten a high level of interest on last.fm, for the exception of a few very popular bands. In addition, take Wynton Marsalis for an example, his quartet only has 759 listeners on last.fm and yet he holds a page on this encyclopedia site. I hope this helps. --angers 15:52, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
