[edit] Partyline

Was tagged as db-band, but claims notabily because of a couple of tours, No Vote --Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 00:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete Not notable, only a link to a record label and their site, and a 'band of the week' article that doesn't qualify it for a page by itself. Tokakeke 01:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, touring for bands like this consists of getting in a van, driving a bit, playing at some small clubs for small crowds, and losing money on the entire venture. Not anything like a nationwide tour that the guidelines indicate, and not too much above a guy with an acoustic guitar playing coffee houses in a variety of cities. Wait til they release a real album, then reconsider. -R. fiend 03:57, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Meh. Weak keep. While I'm still not impressed with bands that tour with no albums released (they can't have any fans if no one has heard them; the people going to their shows are either going to see another band or are the sort of people who go to all such shows in their local scene), the fact they have at least one member who is just famous enough, and that solitary EP, I guess does it. Would be happier if they had at least one full album. -R. fiend 17:51, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• I marked this as db-band earlier and I stand by my call. Speedy delete as CSD:A7. Stifle 11:21, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Tobakakeke. --Terence Ong 13:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Not only have they done a national tour, but an international tour. [1]. I'm also not sure about the Spin "Band of the Day" note, but I think that qualifies, too. --badlydrawnjeff 14:54, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Their international tour covered most countries in Europe, every day of November 2005, with no breaks. It included at least 3 European Ladyfest events, and they played 2 shows some days. Partyline's frontwoman Allison Wolfe was one of the organisers of the first ever Ladyfest, and if that's not enough, she was there at the start of the Riot Grrl movement in 1991 with her first band Bratmobile. Fellow bandmembers Angela and Crystal are no coffee-house losers either. --Dublinkid 16:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Spin.com band of the day, "Partyline singer Allison Wolfe is a founding member of the seminal riot grrrl act Bratmobile", and European tour. Kappa 17:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
