[edit] Acoustic Guitars (band)

Does not assert notability, and seems to fail it [1] anyway. Valrith 20:47, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - four albums on Sundance - The Scandinavian Music Company. Not being in the region, I cannot attest to whether or not the company is notable. But if so, keep. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 00:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep - Here's the list of Sundance's bands [2], which is an impressive list, but I've never heard of any of them. The band's website mentions a European and Canadian tour. Allmusic panned one of their albums [3]. I can't read Danish, so I can't really find anymore, but they seem to meet WP:MUSIC overall. --Joelmills 01:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep I guess they are at least a band with a contract... GuBu 16:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I can't see a clear indication, either in the article or on their official website, of them meeting any of the WP:MUSIC criteria. If somebody can indicate which criteria they fulfill, and how, I would be happy to review again. Cheers TigerShark 22:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Read Joelmills's comment. That covers the basics of WP:MUSIC and other criteria generally used in these AfDs.. Coverage, AllMusic, releases on a notable label, etc. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 22:51, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Just to put this in context with earlier comments by other users. Being signed to Sundance only counts if Sundance is a major label (or an important Indie label). Judging by the list of unknown bands accredited to Sundance, it seems like neither. The tours only count if they were concert tours and were reported in notable sources - I can't see an indication of that (apart from them using the term concert on their own website). The reviews only count if there are several of them published in reputable media - again I can't see an indication of that. Cheers TigerShark 22:57, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Even the review at AllMusic is only two sentences TigerShark 21:51, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
