Talk:Debaser (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Speedy deletion of this should not take place because Debaser meets the notability standard as defined by Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28music%29.

Debaser meets two of the reqirements, of which only one is required to justify its inclusion on Wikipedia.

Music notability criteria 1 states: "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 1. It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable."

Debaser has been the subject of several non-trivial published works, in the form of newspaper articles from several reliable sources: The Toronto Star (Monday June 13, 2005: NXNE review), Now Magazine (http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-06-08/music_feature9.php, http://www.nowtoronto.com/issues/2006-10-19/music_livereviews.php), The Varsity (http://www.thevarsity.ca/media/storage/paper285/news/2005/11/24/ArtsCulture/Theyre.Singing.Our.Song-1113569-page3.shtml?norewrite200612101711&sourcedomain=www.thevarsity.ca), The Ontarion (Guelph newspaper, no online edition, but feature appeared in their April 2006 edition), Eye Magazine (http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_08.24.06/city/myapt.php), and Wavelength's Web Zine (http://www.wavelengthtoronto.com/article.php?p=391).

The band has also toured extensively through Canada, as noted in the Wavelength feature.
