[edit] Daily Planet (band)

Daily Planet (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Band's main claim to notability is the theme song for a barely notable television show. When I Googled the band (a process complicated by the common nature of the name), I found one media mention which is mirrored on some other sites. Seems to fail WP:MUSIC, but there could be more info about there. janejellyroll 03:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Keep. They are lesser known now, as I believe they are less active. That may be why it was hard for you to find much info on Google. Tim Long 03:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, the theme song isn't their only significance. Check the links. If they weren't well-known at the time of their activity, I don't think Christianity Today and The Christian Post would have covered them. Tim Long 03:49, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, Reunion Records is a major label with well-known artists. Tim Long 03:53, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

That's notability for Reunion Records, not for the band. janejellyroll 03:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, if both albums were released on Reunion and it is a major indie label, then the band passes WP:BAND. ShadowHalo 10:41, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Only their second album was on Reunion. Their debut came out on SPV. Caknuck 17:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to TruthQuest: California. Mention that the theme song was by the band. --Wafulz 03:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC criteria. Tim Long's arguments above fail to take into account that not everything newspapers publish, especially niche publications like the ones he mentions, is encyclopedically notable; if you don't believe me, grab your paper and flip to the wedding announcements. Also, not every artist signed to a major label meets WP:MUSIC. A Train ^{take the} 20:23, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per A Train. --Candy-Panda 10:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, a record on a major label plus a minor television theme, and some news coverage all add up to notability. —siroχo 09:43, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Per Billboard, none of their albums or songs have ever charted. Caknuck 17:57, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
