[edit] Friday's Child (band)

Notability. Does someone having a webpage suddenly make them important enough for an article?

• no vote yet redirect to Friday's Child (band). The current is just a disambiguation page. Devotchka 02:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. The article needs some serious expansion and cleanup, but they do have a CD. Mr. Lefty _{Talk to me!} 02:39, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• keep. Haven't heard of them but the band appears to be notable. Around for ten years, fairly notable [[1]] as far as their page bio goes. Needs a stub tag. Devotchka 02:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. They have four CDs released since 2000 albeit on minor labels. However, the claim in the current article seems a bit over-the-top. They have an Allmusic.com entry but not a biography see [2]. The current article is a substub though. Capitalistroadster 03:42, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete Where's the notability here? They completely fail WP:MUSIC, as releasing albums on minor labels and exisiting for a long time are not claims of significance. The single-sentence article just links to their web site and mentions an Internet poll. In fact, both the WP article and their official bio on their site mention this poll, but NEVER SAY WHO CONDUCTED THE POLL, WHO VOTED IN THE POLL, OR WHEN THE POLL TOOK PLACE. I couldn't find anything about this on Google, and as a result, the article also fails WP:V. And an AllMusic page without a biography maens nothing. -- Kicking222 04:09, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Also, if they won a poll that included 10 MILLION people, you'd think somebody would've already written a (considerably more extensive) WP article about them. -- Kicking222 04:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, though I do fear upsetting 10 million viewers. RobLinwood 04:39, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, new band, does not meet WP:MUSIC and is clearly unverifyable to wikipedia standards - Peripitus 10:35, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I don't see how they pass WP:MUSIC. Kevin 10:57, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:MUSIC criteria. --Terence Ong 11:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no credible claim of notability. Ten million people? Hmmm. --Aquillion 17:26, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, non-notable.
• Delete Non -notable, very doubtful claims as to 10,000,000 Aspern 21:45, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The 10,000,000 people claim is only made by their own website, but it doesn't cite any sources either. We can't verify that the poll was actually performed and under what circumstances. Mtmelendez 12:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, press page notes multiple non-trivial media mentions, including Fox News and various radio interviews. Also noted in a 2002 book. Easily reaches WP:MUSIC bar. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 13:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:MUSIC.  Grue  08:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete or radical rewrite - "new" bands are generally non-notable (except when members are in themselves notable), and one sentence does not a Wikipedia article make. B.Wind 15:43, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
