[edit] Calerway

Calerway (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The subject has performed with a number of notable bands but does not appear to be notable itself. The only sources provided are not independent of the subject. Mattinbgn/ talk 08:36, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Such bands as Heavy weight Chanp are basically in the same boat as Calerway, the band is pretty big over in Perth and has toured across Australia and Singapore and is releasing their proper album in the coming weeks.
  • Comment Please think over the dealtetation, i would add more to the page but the offical site is down currently.
  • Comment 30/05 7:54pm - I've read over those articles, but i'm still stuck on which points to clear up for the article? (beginner at this)
  • Comment Link to the TripleJ playlist that played a Calerway song and interview with JP
    • Comment the link is dead or at least it doesn't work for me. I will look at the TripleJ website myself. I have taken the liberty of formatting your contributions to the discussion.

    • Comment Can't see it here. I still don't think it is notable, sorry.Mattinbgn/ talk 12:58, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Weak keep based on recent edits. I would withdraw but there is at least one other vote to delete, so probably should run its course. -- Mattinbgn/ talk 04:08, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. By WP:MUSIC, the band must have released at least 2 albums with major labels in order to be considered notable. The article only mentions one album, and Valet Records does not seem to be a major label (rather a startup indy label). So the subject fails notability guidelines, unless someone comes up with sources that support other criteria of WP:MUSIC (secondary coverage of tours, charted hits, etc.). --B.

Given the improvements in the article during the AfD, I am changing my vote to Keep. --B. Wolterding 08:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The notability guidelines under WP:MUSIC requires that the cirteria for musicans and music ensembles are notable if they meet one of the criteria not just that it has to have released at least 2 albums. It should be noted that the band has not only toured Australia - performing in Perth and Victoria but has also toured South-east Asia (which has been referenced via a independent source). The band have recieved airplay on Triple J the national youth broadcaster for Australia and their video clip has been aired on rage. All of which justifies the articles inclusion.

  • Keep, meets WP:MUSIC by virtue of overseas tour (to Singapore). Lankiveil 08:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep, obscure but notable by virtue of criteria per WP:MUSIC. Orderinchaos 14:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
