[edit] Alexis Blue

Contested PROD. This unsigned band does not appear to meet WP:MUSIC. They are unsigned, their music is self-released, and I don't see any evidence of a national tour. Joyous | Talk 14:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep -- They should be kept - This band have started a musical scene where they are from, they are an important part of the new music industry. A national tour means playing around the country, which they have done in many areas (Liverpool, Sheffield, London and soon to be Birmingham). They are being looked at by record labels and although they may release records by themself that is what music is about. Self creation and releasing. There are many unsigned bands on here which meet far less meet the 'criteria' set. Information about the band has been provided by fans of the band from all around the country. They are supporting signed bands and this has been mentioned in Newspapers and NME as tours. This all (Tours, influence, mentioned in national magazines) fits with the WP:MUSIC rules. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.238.119 (talk • contribs)
Comment: When they are signed onto major record labels and are widely accepted as notable, they will merit their own article on Wikipedia. Until then, however, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Kuzaar 15:46, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment: 'widely accepted as notable' - I would call booked to play festivals and being payed for gigs, being asked by signed bands to support them and with over 5000 fans and 18,000 plays on Myspace as being widely accepted as notable. They are a KNOWN band in the Indie music industry and community, meaning they are known and regarded as famous. And before anyone asks, i am not a member of the band, just a clued up fan. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.238.119 (talk • contribs)
