[edit] Jonezetta

No Allmusic entry. I'd rather not speedy this since the same author has created a number of band articles and I feel that we should review in general the kinds of bands this person is describing. Chick Bowen 05:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. No assertion of notability. Zaxem 05:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete No claims of notability as per WP:Music, so better off on Myspace until they achieve notable status.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  07:08, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. per WP:MUSIC which usually requires 2 releases on a major or notable indy lable, or one of the other criteria. The only thing I can think of that come close on is what looks to be a national tour schedule, but thats ify since they appear to be just one of several acts, and NONE of this is asserted in the article. -MrFizyx 07:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Merge and redirect per M1ss1ontomars2k4 comment below. We need to have better coverage of some obscure music genres (these articles seem to attract new readers and editors), but Jonezetta will need to wait until a case can be made per WP:MUSIC.-MrFizyx 17:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:MUSIC. DarthVader 10:08, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This is ridiculous. THIS BAND IS SIGNED TO Tooth & Nail Records! You may not know Jonezetta or this label, but the people who would view this article sure as Hell will. I hope you've heard of EMI. The EMI Group is a major record label and is one of the Big Four record labels. EMI owns EMI Christian Music Group which owns Tooth & Nail. I wanted to contribute information to Wikipedia that I previously couldn't find. If this article is deleted, than Wikipedia isn't what I thought it was: a website with information on virtually everything. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kendrickjohnson (talk • contribs)
• Delete. Who? KleenupKrew 20:23, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep They are signed to a major label. That should be sufficient notability to keep. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.105.188.47 (talk • contribs)
• Delete The only- ONLY- assertion of notability is being on a somewhat important record label. That's not enough. And in addition, even the band's web site doesn't state if they've ever actually entered a studio and recorded an album. -- Kicking222 23:33, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• merge and redir to Tooth & Nail records. Kendrickjohnson, WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of information. M1ss1ontomars2k4 23:35, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, no assertions of notability per WP:MUSIC. Might not take long, though... Grandmasterka 04:07, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, and allow for later recreation if they become more notable. My crystal ball is broken, though, so I don't know if they will or not. ~Kylu (u|t) 20:04, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep For those of you who are uninformed: Jonezetta signed with Tooth & Nail Records last summer. It was the most extensive contract ever offered by Tooth & Nail that I am aware of. They were on the Tooth & Nail tour earlier this year, playing the U.S. from coast to coast. Tooth & Nail chose to have Jonezetta play this tour before releasing an album, so by the time their first album is released, they will have a significant fan base. They HAVE recorded their freshman album. It is in post-production right now, as far as I know. It is to be released in August. My informed prediction is that there will be a significant need for this article by late 2006 and early 2007. I don't see the problem with having an article for an 'up-and-coming' band. There are thousands of bands on Wikipedia that I haven't heard of. People aren't concerned about bands they haven't heard of being on Wikipedia. They ARE, however, concerned about their favourite bands not having an article on Wikipedia. Kendrickjohnson
