[edit] Between the Trees

Between the Trees (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

Contested prod. Non notable band, fail WP:MUSIC with one record (on an indie label with as far as I can tell only two releases until now, the other by Monochromatic) and no other claims to fame. Fram 20:27, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

  • keep as article author - although they do have only one album they have been invited to play at this years bamboozle fest, and have a fairly sizable following. This article[1] (The Miami New Times) also indicates that the bands album has done fairly well on some of the smaller charts, including number 3 on billboard's south atlantic heatseakers chart. They arn't U2 but I believe they clearly meet WP:MUSIC --T-rex 17:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - one album on a minor independent label does not meet WP:MUSIC. A few local press articles would suffice to revise my position. Eludium-q36 19:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
    Besides the article linked to above they also got a 600+ word article in the Orlando Sentinel, a very positive review by this alternative rock site, and a mention (though small) by absolutepunk.net --T-rex 17:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Driven Far Off is a site I'd never heard of until this discussion, but their about page suggests there's a well-defined editorial process. Absolute Punk is a show-listing. Orlando Times, though not well-accessible, clearly meets WP:RS. Based on this, I revise my position to weak keep, as there is evidence of multiple (three) non-trivial reports.
