[edit] Dinamicos

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

This article is about a band from Trinidad and Tobago that reportedly won first prize in a competition. That's nice, but the tone of the article seems very inappropriate, and the number and format of the external links suggests a conflict of interest. If the band is notable, keep the article, but at minimum it will need a strong rewrite. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 02:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete: Unless the "National Parang Association of Trinidad & Tobago Annual Competition" is a major competition. If it is, it needs to be sourced, and thus would meet criteria 9 here. Otherwise, not notable, delete. - Rjd0060 05:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete, the competition they were in doesn't seem notable. The National Parang Association has been around for 26 years and yet I can't find a single reliable source about it, just trivial mentions of bands that have participated in it. "Asociación de Parang", the Spanish translation, gets nothing either. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 01:16, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep per WP:MUSIC. Sources for a Trinidad and Tobago-based band may be more difficult to find than for a band based in the U.S. or U.K., but this band's songwriting members did apparently win an award from the Copyright Organization of Trinidad and Tobago, which is the equivalent of BMI in the U.S. or PRS in the U.K. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete -- the article doesn't assert notability and not verifiable in any case. --Lockley (talk) 20:49, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
• I think a COTT award is an assertion of notability (per Metropolitian). The National Parang is a major competition (see [1], which is a search of one of the three national newspapers). Parang is considered a national artform in Trinidad. So I think the band is notable enough for an article, but it's a copyvio of this page. So keep with a complete re-write (I'll do the re-write if consensus is to keep the article). Guettarda (talk) 14:59, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
