[edit] Genki Rockets

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

Non-notable band that isn't even really a band; it's a "virtual band" that doesn't even really exist in normal form. Sole claim to fame is a holographic performance at Live Earth, which isn't enough to meet WP:BAND No albums, one iTunes release, Only one independent source cited that isn't otherwise promoting the band's recording. They just haven't met notability standards yet. Realkyhick 08:07, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep The Live Earth performance definitely makes them notable. Quoting WP:BAND: "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, reported in reliable sources." The article needs a rewrite and source-over, true, but it should stay. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 08:25, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Per GlassCobra's quote. Also, being "only" a Virtual band does not make them non-notable (Prime example). Fosnez 10:47, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep I'd say they just pass WP:MUSIC. Definitely needs cleanup though and better sourcing. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:54, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep For the same reasons that GlassCobra has stated above. PeanutCheeseBar 18:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I believe they are notable for being holographic and having unnamed musicians. (Also, Fosnez, thanks for the virtual band link. I didn't know it existed.) Kat, Queen of Typos 01:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
