[edit] Marea (band)

Tagged for speedy but not a speedy candidate, notability asserted. Hard to verify, needs a closer look. Guy 23:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - the Spanish wikipedia article says they're signed to RCA, the Spanish language MTV has a biography on them [1] and confirms that at least three of their albums were released by major labels. So it looks like they satisfy WP:MUSIC. Googlers beware - "marea" simply means "tide", so google for the album titles instead. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:14, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Don't we, incidentially, have a "this article need attention of an en-es bilingual person" tag/cat? -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 23:17, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but tag with cleanup for copyedit and for attention from an en-es bilingual person. --GunnarRene 02:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, it's a babelfished article from the Spanish wikipedia, and as such, nothing is lost if it's deleted (except some confusion if one reads the article). If someone wants to write a real article about the band that makes some sense, that one can be kept. - Bobet 09:03, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. It seems that the band is on the borderline of being notable, but it's a terrible article. The text we have now is not even usable as a stub. Delete now, but resubmit if someone can do a proper article. Because of the current quality, as the last reviewer says, little would be lost if it is deleted. We do expect to see some *evidence* of notability in the article itself, not just in the assertion of a reviewer. There is no reference provided in the article besides a link to the band's own web site. EdJohnston 04:55, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
