[edit] Elliot Minor

Not Notable. Only one significant source is listed (bbc) and it's a minor local radio write-up, the last fm page is copied from here, myspace and youtube are not viable sources for notability, announcements of tours do not confer notability, repossession records has two bands on it's books. The only possibly notable fact about one band member is that he was a head chorister at St Johns, Cambridge, but whilst that may confer notability on him, it does not make the band he sings in notable, nor does it confer notability on fellow band members. I have also AfD'd all the band members except Ed Minton for NN. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 09:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

  • DeleteWeak Keep Initially I believed NN, but 2 singles have both charted in the UK top 40, which appears to meet notability criteria for bands. However, the article is in desperate need of some reliable cites, unfortunately the chart website I found only appears to make archives visible for the current year, so is not citeable as at some future date the archive will not be visible. Perhaps someone could cite NME issues or similar? cites don't have to be web.DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 09:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC) modified DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 01:15, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep article states The single entered at number 31 on the UK Singles Charts thereby passing criterion #2 of WP:MUSIC (a nationally charting release). In fact a quick check on everyhit.com reveals that the band has had two charting singles, as the follow-up reached #19 in August of this year ChrisTheDude 10:04, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Just noticed the #19 position for the second single was actually already in the article as well..... ChrisTheDude 10:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. In addition to ChrisTheDude's point, the article clearly shows that they fall under criterion #11 (placed in rotation) of WP:MUSIC and probably under #4 (national tour) too. That's not to say that the article doesn't need a fair amount of clean-up, more NPOV and more RS. Bondegezou 10:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Definitely meets WP:MUSIC per ChrisTheDude. I do think it needs some cleanup, I'll tag that. NASCAR Fan24(radio me!) 10:39, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Sufficiently notable for inclusion.--Michig 12:36, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Question for nom. Why did you skip Ed Minton? -- Ben 17:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Head Chorister of St John's may confer some notability on EM, but I don't believe that carries over to other band members. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 16:46, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep.they are notable enough for inclusion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.199.166.50 (talk) 22:40, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I saw the band on a commercial music channel, and they have a charted single - meets WP:MUSIC. --AndyKali 21:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
