[edit] Magneta Lane

"Magneta Lane are an up and coming band hailing from Toronto, Canada." A band that is up and coming would seem to not yet be notable and not merit inclusion. --Mysidia 9 July 2005 18:21 (UTC)

  • No, they wouldn't. Delete as vanity. Ditto the article at Lexi Valentine. - Lucky 6.9 9 July 2005 18:53 (UTC)
  • According to the article they have a couple of published singles and are getting air time. That makes them sufficiently notable. They also seem to have oodles of Google hits. Keep.-gadfium 20:28, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a legitate band. They have an international following (a look at thier my space page shows that they have fans ALL over the world, they have several singles out, they have music videos on MTV, VH1 and MuchMusic that are in medium rotation, and their music can be purchased on just about any online music store including itunes, napster, MSN music, Yahoo Music, Puretracks, RealRhapsody, Mp3.com, etc. Right now they are currently touring in Japan. Seems worthy to me. :)
  • Strong Keep - Meets criteria for WP:MUSIC, 18,000 Google hits, has extensive Allmusic page despite being new. I realize there are tons of vanity band pages created per day but they each merit at least a google or allmusic search before vfd. --TheMidnighters 21:09, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Changing vote to keep. The author left polite word on my talk page asking me to reconsider. Notability wasn't well established before but it certainly is now. Someone blanked Lexi Valentine, BTW. Speedy, redirect, restore that one or...? - Lucky 6.9 23:52, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep seem to be above the notability bar. --Etacar11 04:37, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
  • It seems like it should be kept per Gadfium. --Mysidia 11:28, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. As you could consider, for example, Jet as up and coming as they probably haven't hit their peak. Redwolf24 11:30, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Band has released album which has received a reasonable amount of attention see Allmusic article[1]Capitalistroadster 01:31, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Passes WP:MUSIC. JamesBurns 07:43, 11 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep,this seems like a no-brainer, but I'm just adding my voice.--Benfergy 04:40, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand Howee 05:48, 14 July 2005 (UTC)
