[edit] Denali (band) and Maura Davis

I was about to delete this and Maura Davis but then I noticed a keep in a related AFD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Keeley Davis. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-10-10 08:23Z

• To note, I prodded the article because it fails WP:MUSIC. The band has only two indie-label released albums and has no assertion of other notability. The only other possibility is the membership of Keeley Davis whose article says he "was also briefly in the band Denali," and he's not that notable himself. In ordinary circumstances, redirects are more appropriate for notability-by-association with a notable member. Here, because of the unimportance of Davis to the band itself, a redirect seems inappropriate. Note also that nothing, inculding any potential assertions of notability, is sourced with reliable, verifiable sources. I favor deletion. Dmcdevit·t 08:55, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Also, I hope I'm not being presumptuous in adding Maura Davis to this nominaion. They are closely connected, and have the same supposed claims to notability. Dmcdevit·t 22:46, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Well they toured nationally and that's one of the requirements for a band having a wikipedia article also they were on "Jade Tree Records" which is a notable indie label, and that's another requirement, so i say keep the article.69.213.152.159 21:21, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Not only is there no reliable source for a tour, the article doesn't even say that. Dmcdevit·t 22:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
    • The band's website details U.S. national tours from 2000-2004, and lists their two major releases on Jade Tree Records, which is a major independent label. I think the notoriety of band is not a question. Keep the main article, but a possible redirect for Maura Davis' article may be a good option.Jemather 01:09, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
      • The band's website is not a "notable and verifiable source." It doesn't fulfill WP:MUSIC. Can you find a notable and verifiable source for a nationwide tour? Dmcdevit·t 03:08, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Allmusic.com has notes about their two releases on Jade Tree and their tours. Also, the band's website is a primary source for information about themselves - it meets WP:RS, and Allmusic corroborates the information.Jemather 14:01, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable and passes WP:MUSIC. - Lex 18:26, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Reliable sources establishing notability. Recorded on notable indie labels. Passes WP:MUSIC. --Marriedtofilm 23:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
