[edit] New Transit Direction

Another editor labelled this for speedy deletion as nn-band. I disagree, so I am taking it here. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 05:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Notability demonstrated by record released on Some Records, a non-obscure indie label with multiple acts signed, and by tours as a supporting act. But the band's old domain, tntd.net, has been cyber-squatted, and the band's blog at http://www.thenewtransitdirection.blogspot.com/ was last updated on Sunday, December 25, 2005.

• Comment: I have to wonder how the website of a "non-obscure indie label" only gets 63 incoming links, as opposed to, say, 1680 for Subpop Records. --Calton | Talk 05:51, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Per TruthbringerToronto. "Opening act for Taking Back Sunday" Alphachimp ^talk 06:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete in the current state. Neither Some nor NTD come anywhere close to establishing notability. No reviews on metacritic, no Pitchfork seal of approval. ~ trialsanderrors 07:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Questions Going by the edit summary this was recreated after deletion (via prod) by TruthbringerToronto but the deletion log only states "nn band", was it deleted via the proposed deletion process? and if yes what was the prod discription? --blue520 07:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete not notable, comes close to but fails to reach WP:MUSIC. Only one, not two or more albums on a label, can find no reporting by notable and verifiable sources about the tour.--blue520 07:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Being an opening act for a notable band isn't necessarily notable. A lot of times, when big acts come here, our local groups get to open for them at certain venues, but that doesn't change the fact that they're still local groups with minor local followings who don't deserve WP entries. This group seems like they might be on the way to passing WP:MUSIC, but currently they do not. I'll welcome their article back to WP when they do. GassyGuy 09:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Close but no cigar. Page at Some records seems not to have been updated since early 2004 see last lines, which is not an indication of growing importance or popularity. Allmusic page is very empty. Fram 11:33, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• keep - enough tour locations to merit inclusion. --Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 17:13, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Looks like the article was written specifically to meet WP:MUSIC guidelines, and has the accompanying info to meet those provisions. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 00:05, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment I can not see that it meets WP:MUSIC guidelines as by my comment above, what sectons of the guideline does it meet.--blue520 08:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Has been listed as a major influence or teacher of a composer, songwriter or lyricist that meets the above criteria, and the aforementioned tour. This article may need citations, but not deletion. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 23:17, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Meets WP:BAND by touring with mentioned artists. --Aguerriero (talk) 03:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment I can't see a tour with 7 stops in 5 near by states (that is if Salt Lake City is seen as home) is what was realy intended by a national concert tour in WP:MUSIC.--blue520 08:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Can any one find a notable and verifiable source (or sources) about the tour, as none are suppled by the article (excluding the forum link) and I could not find any when searching.--blue520 08:35, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Close call, but does not meet WP:MUSIC. --Satori Son 16:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete releasing a record on a non-obscure indie label and a small tour does not merit encyclopdic input.--Joe Jklin (T C) 17:32, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
