[edit] Artists In Exile

Delete-Article is about a relatively new band. There is a claim to notability in the article, but it is not enough for WP:BAND to have a chance encounter with Bono. I also don't see any google hits for anything besides their website.Gershwinrb 21:03, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I think this might be a hoax actually - the phrase "Artists In Exile" is too common for a Google search to be of any use but their supposedly notable song "Trodden On" (by "The Soles"? Anyone else catching an aroma of fish?) produces nothing, and neither does "The Travelling Soles". Ac@osr 21:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - the "Artists In Exile" website that come us on a Google search has nothing to do with this band, unless it turns up 12 pages in, as I'd given up by then. {{Ac@osr 21:29, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I didn't notice that. Then it would appear that they have a website (linked in article) that isn't high traffic enough to appear on google, or something along those lines, which further enforces my belief that they aren't notable. Gershwinrb 22:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, not a hoax then but if the name of your group takes well over 100 GHits before coming up with reference to yourself, well....Ac@osr 07:26, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

• Comment - The band name was changed this week - however their singer, Din Yalonen is a nationally published and recognized Columnist and Artist who works and sells in Canada. As well as the band... which highest Charting was # 13 at Guelph University Radio - however, this is the biggest indie sation in Canada... Type in Din Yalonen in Yahoo and you get many hits right way. However, this discussion is understandable. Din is not huge, but is certainly notable.
• Comment - It would seem the entry should be 'Din Yalonen' or "Din Yalonen & the Artists In Exile"
• Spelling error & Update - Jason Collette should be Jason Collett - Greg Keelor SHOULD be in Wikipedia - he is Jim Cuddy's equal in the band
• Comment - Here's the GHits for "Din Yalonen" [1]. Here's the Ghits for "Din Yalonen" "Artists In Exile".[2]. It's up to the admin I guess. Ac@osr 19:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
