[edit] Egg (electronic music producers)

Egg (electronic music producers) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable French Canadian electronic music duo. This article has been virtually untouched for more than a year, and the one external link provided is a 404. Delete. Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 23:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete Non-notable musicians, no relevant links when searching for "Egg electronic music". --NickPenguin(contribs) 01:39, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep - The duo has gone on international tours as noted in this news release which admittedly isn't a reliable soource as we don't know where the press release material came from. But there is an India Times article which does seem to confirm their touring. And one of the members has this article about him. I suspect that there may be more references and sources out there, but as Montreal duo, these may be in French. -- Whpq (talk) 17:22, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as per nom and NickPenguin. — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 04:31, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep per Whpq as sources are likely in french. -Djsasso (talk) 23:07, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete Keep: Two of the sources provided by Whpq contain incidental mentions of the group (in my opinion). The third source, as pointed out, is about one of the members ... which suggests that this person might bear having an article about him in Wikipedia, but not the group he is a member of. If references are in French, that is ok - where are they? A single French reliable source citation that focused on the group as the primary topic would be sufficient to give breathing room, a "stay of execution" as it were. Note that playing gigs abroad is not an indication of notability; it is an indication of resources and connections. Actually, according to WP:BAND#Criteria for musicians and ensembles criterion 4, documented international exposure does constitute notability - though this criterion is noted as being in dispute. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:51, 27 December 2007 (UTC) updated --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 04:06, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
