[edit] Absentee (band)

Tagged db-band, but notability asserted (touring). Not looked into how credible the claim is, just clearing the CSD queue. Just zis Guy you know? 13:16, 18 May 2006 (UTC)


Hi - what's the problem with the article? What don't you find credible? --Mr magoo 13:39, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

On the notability issue- they meet the two album requirement, chart success, touring, featured in NME in the UK...

  • just about Keep - But I'd like to see an external source verifying their touring schedule. Their label Memphis Industies is a reasonably-sized indie with a decent roster who have some releases in conjunction with Sony but I don't think this arrangement covers all of their releases.

  • Delete with the article content, it fails WP:MUSIC, producer minor notability does not pass muster. Dominick (TALK) 17:59, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless verified. We need to see some reliable source of the tour and so on. Stifle (talk) 23:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete unless verified. —Mets501talk 16:59, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:MUSIC "Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media". --Rob 22:21, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
This AfD is being relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new discussion below this notice. Thanks!

  • Keep This band has been reviewed on Pitchfork and Google searches turn up reviews of their records on various other similar web sites. They fill the notable criteria. Amazinglarry 23:56, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
