[edit] Proposed Deletion/AfD
While it is true that the band has gone on a tour, and that they have produced two albums...they do not appear to meet WP:MUSIC because touring in and around San Fransisco (with a couple of shows in Seattle and Portland) can hardly be considered a national concert tour, and without a more clear definition of what "one of the more important indie labels" means, the two albums were not released by "one of the more important indie labels". --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 17:01, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- Did you happen to take a look at their website before prodding/AfDing? They've toured the US in 2001, check the dates. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 17:39, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

- Yes, I have looked at their website. The picture of the band in concert that greets you when you visit their page says a lot about their notability, and the listing of their tour dates includes notes such as "notable for the fact that one paying customer showed up." I do see where they have made appearances outside their local scene, but apparently not since 2002. --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 17:54, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

- Yet you claim non-notability because they didn't meet WP:MUSIC. The fact of the matter is that they, in fact, do meet WP:MUSIC. Plenty of bands don't tour outside their own region for a number of years, that's luckily not what WP:MUSIC entails. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 17:58, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

- You've got your take...I've got mine. The purpose behind my nominating the article for AfD is to generate a consensus as to the noteworthiness of the band and allow the community to decide, rather than to act unilaterally. If others see it your way, they stay, and vice-versa. --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 18:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

- The problem, of course, is that consensus, for better or worse, already came up with notability guidelines that you seem to want to unilaterally ignore to try and reach a separate AfD consensus. Whatever, hopefully people go the right way at the AfD. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 20:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

- My point is that this band, along with many others, may or may not meet WP:MUSIC, given that the definitions of notability are vague enough to allow room to question each on an individual basis. My view is that the "ReplicaTour" was more of an extended roadtrip than a concert tour. Based on my interpretation of the WP:MUSIC guidelines, I questioned the validity of the article by {{prod}}ing and AfDing it. If that is unilaterally ingnoring consensus, then so be it. --Bugwit grunt / scribbles 23:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
-
- My point was that we have guidelines to run by, and it's pretty clear this band meets the guideline. You disagree, it goes to AfD, but I don't get how you think it doesn't meet the guideline, since you based the prod/AfD on not meeting it when it does. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 03:40, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
--ConanNeutron Hi! I'm in this band... I was alerted to this by a fan (it pays to have geeky friends and fans) if you look at our [1]show archive it's all on the table. We've toured the west coast multiple times, the midwest a few times and have indeed toured coast to coast. 2006/2007 plans include another US tour, and either Europe or elsewhere.
We don't get out as much as we'd like... what can I say?
We didn't put this page up here, and I sometimes wonder myself if we're "big enough" to qualify, but now that's up, it'd be nice if it was kept around... as for the please contact me at neutron@replicator5000.com if you'd like to request any information.
