[edit] The Manvils

self published local band, local gigs, local press, see WP:MUSIC ccwaters 18:45, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I see no reason at all why this article should be removed. I am a fan of the band and only wish to set up a Wikipedia page as have countless others here. Please do not delete the article. Alternatively, please provide me with more detailed information about what you do not find acceptable about this particular page as your links to such information are very ambiguous. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by The manvils (talk • contribs).

The guideline for band articles is at the link I provided (WP:MUSIC). ccwaters 18:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, so why do this band http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_High_Dials (friends of The Manvils)of whom the Manvils have toured with get to have a Wikipedia Page? The Manvils have played/toured with many more well known bands of notability, plus their guitarist is second guitarist for Stereophonics when on their tour.--Manvils Fan #1 19:15, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

This AFD is about "the Manvils". It doesn't concern any other other article that may or may not be a candidate for deletion as well. Now are you really just a fan? Just wondering because you declared the images related to this article as your own work. ccwaters 19:23, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

"How come X gets an article when Y can't?" will get you nowhere on AFD. The editors of Wikipedia are working on article as they see them. We can't evaluate them all at once. And, in answer to your question, The High Dials have toured England and the US. I can't find any evidence that The Manvils have ever left Vancouver. - Richfife 19:27, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

In regards to your comment "Now are you really just a fan? Just wondering because you declared the images related to this article as your own work. " I photograph the band occassionally. You can check out my website if you like at www.maryanovich.com it includes many famous celebrities of whom I have photographed as well as The Manvils.--Manvils Fan #1 19:43, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - from what I can find via Google it looks like the band has potential, but as of today they do not meet WP:BAND. -IceCreamAntisocial 02:55, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Even if we could rely on the band's own website (which we can't), it would appear that they have only played in Vancouver area. There is no indication of the band's singles or albums ever having charted anywhere. Thus the band fails WP:MUSIC. Ohconfucius 03:07, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

• Moving to neutral, subject to verification of the reliability of magazine articles quoted in Project Opus which I found and link posted to the article. Ohconfucius 03:22, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

• Coverage in Chart, Exclaim! and Hour? Airplay on CBC Radio 3? That's all good enough for me; WP:MUSIC explicitly states that coverage in major national music media is itself a sufficient criterion. Close to the line, I admit, but as far as I'm concerned, they're just enough on the keep side of where I consider the line to be. Bearcat 23:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
• If the musician in this band is determined a Keep at his AfD, than this one should keep, too, since it would be the band of a notable musician. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 18:17, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
