[edit] Love Ends Disaster!

Non-notable per WP:MUSIC Nv8200p talk 02:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, they are true in everything written on there. a band with notable reviews, releases and press approval. and bloc party like them, so what criteria is there to warrant deletion? : Andy Black
  • Delete per nom. --cholmes75 16:34, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless some proof to the above keep claims can be given. ^demon[yell at me] /08:31, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Two EPs and two demos aren't enough to meet WP:MUSIC. ergot 22:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
    • But multiple media coverage is, so why delete? --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 00:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Because it does not appear to rise above the level of the trivial, very much as you'd expect from any number of nearly-but-not-quite-there-yet bands. They doin't even seem to have released a full album yet. Just zis Guy you know? 13:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

also proved BBC radio 1 and radio 6 air play, and prominence in the local music scenes of leicester and nottingham? - Andy Black

  • Comment. I was to close this discussion, but the result is not obvious as it may seem:
    • there is a supermajority of Delete, but AfD is not a vote
    • most of deleter suggestions refer to WP:MUSIC, but it has been shown that this band meets it, so these are somehow invalid, but
    • the provided link is to the band's web site, so this is cannot be considered a source independent on the subject
  • I think this article needs some more discussion. I'd support a relisting. - Liberatore(T) 17:50, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. heres the link to the rough trade text :

  • Comment. heres the link to the drowned in sound text :

This AfD is being relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks!

  • Delete not on Allmusic, does not appear notable. Just zis Guy you know? 14:12, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per the many good chaps above. PJM 14:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. What we've got evidence of is two demos, two EPs, a small mumber of reviews and their own website. None of this makes them a band that's notable enough for an encyclopaedia. Zaxem 17:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, the press is proven to be true, notable, and in keeping with WP MUSIC guidelines. the band has national festival appearances and a national indie profile. They also conform to this section of WP MUSIC :

Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop); note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability. which can be verified by myself as an administrator of www.pineapster.co.uk for both the city of Leicester and the city of Nottingham. The band also have BBC Radio 1, Radio 6 and Xfm airplay in the last 12 months. Further regional press is demonstrated here : [2] [3]. the artrocker article is here: [4]. and the band have full UK major distribution : [5] - Andy Black

  • Delete per JzG. Stifle (talk) 19:48, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The article is not a vanity article, it is informative and (although it needs some work), I believe it has a place on wikipedia. It comes close to many of the requirements for notability. And in a short space of time, may be a force in its genre of music, if it isn't already, I think that for the immediate good of wikipedia, and the eventual good of wikipedia, it should stay. I also agree with everything else said for keep.Benjaminstewart05 19:50, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Andy Black's references above, unless someone can show that LeftLion and High Voltage are not reliable sources. Fagstein 21:32, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
