[edit] Just (band)

fails WP:MUSIC SaltyWater 11:33, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete NN band. Beno1000 11:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete this "up and coming" band as per WP:MUSIC. An article on them would be great if and when they have already upped and comed, but not now. --BrownHairedGirl 12:27, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, website asserts that they've toured Canada, which meets WP:MUSIC standards. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 13:16, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment: WP:MUSIC requires Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,[1] reported in notable and verifiable sources (emphasis added by me). I see no evidence that this tour has been "reported in notable and verifiable sources". --BrownHairedGirl (talk • contribs) 13:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

The website appears to have links to the venues. Confirmation is rather easy. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 14:44, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - I could grab a guitar and tour, doesn't make me notable. --cholmes75 14:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, if you toured nationally, it does. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 14:44, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
    • They have 3 links to local venues on their website. No mention of this "national" tour. Also, the article is a little dicey timewise...was their tour in 2003? Bear in mind a self-definition isn't always the best, and we still don't have a reputable media source confirming it.--Marysunshine 23:31, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
      • How far back did you look in their calendar. Plus, the "reported in notable and verifiable sources" doesn't mean "reputable media source." It can easily mean the venues they played in, or the band itself as a primary source per WP:RS. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 06:23, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• So if I drive to a number of cities in the U.S. and strum my guitar on a streetcorner, that constitutes a tour and thus meets WP:MUSIC standards? That said, this band does seem to have some notability, and Google turns up some unique hits. I don't think it would be too hard to turn this into a workable article, so I would have to vote weak keep on this one. Aplomado ^talk 15:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Never heard of them, their website has 3 local venues listed for this month and zilch for the summer, they haven't *charted* nationally, and their venues/times for the national tour (in 2003?) aren't listed on the website. No presence on Google. I'm not buying it.--Marysunshine 23:28, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• keep please their tours can be verified passes music Yuckfoo 18:30, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - Not every band which has been signed is notable. Their main fansite is an MSN group, their merchandise is hosted on Cafepress. Most of their venues seem to be bars. - Hahnchen 20:14, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
