[edit] Edith Grove

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

Doesn't satisfy WP:NOTE. Seemingly a local band, with no real press coverage outside of Albuquerque[1] CA387 21:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 00:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. New Mexico media coverage passes the "reliable sources" test, and hence the band passes WP:BAND. There is an allmusic.com listing at http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=EDITH|GROVE&sql=11:wxfwxqqgldde~T2 The article doesn't menbtion which label the albums are on, though, suggesting that they may be self-released. --Eastmain 07:32, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment the link I gave doesn't really justify a keep vote, per WP:SPS. A Google news search returns zero results,[2] while a Google search returns a mere 350—none of which merit inclusion under WP:MUSIC.[3] --CA387 00:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
• Very Weak Keep. I'd like to note that the article is not about a band, it's about a woman. This woman appears to have been mentioned in the albuquerque press somewhat and thus seems to meet one of the criteria for inclusion set forth in WP:MUSIC, unless local newspapers don't count. --Leon Sword 18:59, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Says who? The only source I can find is her webpage: something we can't bring into the AfD per WP:SPS. --CA387 00:49, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete seemingly local only, plus there's only one real source, which is primary. MySpace doesn't count as a source. It's gonna need nationwide coverage of reliable sources, in which that will establish its notability. (→zelzany - fish) 00:02, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to a new name and Cleanup -- Creator of article needs to look at Merit (band) for good pointers. (I suggest he create a new article named Edith Grove (band), and move the work so far over, then turn this one into a redirect.)--Mike18xx 01:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails notability by lack of extensive coverage in reliable secondary sources, and I don't see any redeeming factor. Only two wikilinks to the article, and one refers to a different subject. If it's kept it really ought to be moved to Edith Grove (band), since Edith Grove is apparently a place in London. Ichibani _u^t_c 22:05, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
• delete. If local town press is all you need for notability we'll have 1,000,000 band articles at Wikipedia. Local press coverage doesn't prove that she is notable for anything, unless it asserts that she is notable for something. So as is, I think this article fails the spirit of WP:N.
