[edit] Glo (Band)

Glo (Band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is an apparently contested prod, as once again someone deleted the prod template without explanation. This page was repeatedly speedied, but the author kept plugging away and recreating it. The band is just not notable at all. I've been trying to find something on them in Google. The searches return thousands of results, but they're not about this band.

  • Weak Keep. Not a lot of coverage found, but they won an award in Canada and have several releases.--Michig (talk) 11:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - The "award" they won is a local award for small-time bands in the Toronto area. I don't think that establishes any kind of notability, and they still fail WP:MUSIC because they don't meet any of the criteria listed for notability. That general concern hasn't been addressed yet.

  • Comment. Maybe not, but one of the criteria on WP:MUSIC is "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city;", so being considered within Toronto as (one of) the top Canadian band(s) from outside Toronto (which is my interpretation of the awards - they won 2), would at least lean towards notability, by the criteria that we are working to. I would still like to see more evidence of coverage, however.--Michig (talk) 17:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I've found some refs, which I've added to the article. I'm happy that there's enough for a keep now.--Michig (talk) 19:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Since page was nominated for deletion, more noteworthy info has already been added (ie. awards, nominations, etc).--Karmahead (talk) 11:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - Karmahead is the article's author. Gromlakh (talk) 16:38, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep - as Runnerup2007 has pointed out, the article now indicates notability. matt91486 (talk) 01:06, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Runnerup2007. Bondegezou (talk) 17:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
