[edit] Hector band

Hector band (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The article fails WP:MUSIC: the band has not been a primary subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the band. The article does, however, seem to make a significant claim for the notability of the band (as pioneers of "loose rock"). A Google search yields about 133 hits, many of which are irrelevant. - Black Falcon 01:09, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

• Comment The 60s/70s era band shown on the website http://www.hector-band.co.uk/ appears to be a different band of the same name located in the UK. Not clear that most of these Google hits belong to the Australian Hector Band --Shirahadasha 04:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No sources. I can't buy the claim that the band is a pioneer of "loose rock" without some more specific assertion of what exactly the band did that made it pioneering, and one 2006 album seems to contradict that claim, unless "loose rock" is a movement a year old or less, or their pioneering activities didn't include making albums. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Per Wikipedia:Notability, a topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject itself and each other such that there exists enough source material to write a verifiable, encyclopedic article about the topic. The article should be created using multiple non-trivial published works that discuss the Hector band (which the article does not). I was unable to locate any usable published works on the Hector band or on the Patriots of Loose Rock EP mentioned in the Hector article. Also, as applied to music, the term "loose rock" does not appear to meet Wikipedia:Notability and I was not able to find a reference to loose rock music that would permit adding it to Rock music. The appropriate course of action here appears to be delete per the above reasoning, including the reasoning in the nomination. -- Jreferee 19:13, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No evidence that loose rock is anything more than a protologism and no evidence of the band's passing WP:BAND. ShadowHalo 23:13, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
