[edit] On the Last Day

Non notable band; as far as I can see, does not meet any of the notability criteria. Brianyoumans 06:47, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I checked out the band's site, which I'll link to in the article. They are touring the US from coast to coast, satisfying WP:MUSIC. The site also has media links. Guyanakoolaid 08:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm afraid I didn't notice the tour link, otherwise I might not have afded. On the other hand, most of the venues are "TBA", and most of the announced venues look like coffee places or such. I see one theatre venue, in Minneapolis, with 3 other bands. --Brianyoumans 19:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Yeah, I looked again, the media link is actually just pictures and stuff, but there's several google hits and interviews and stuff I found. The tour dates on their site only have about four TBAs, but other venues are questionable (Salvation Army?). This article is actually pretty close to the line, it depends on interpretation of tour, and my take is this: I've known lots of guys in bands that were medium-big locally that never got it together enough to tour another state, my feeling is if a band tours straight through at least three time zones, that's a tour. Their website is pretty pro-looking, too. Guyanakoolaid 03:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I'm not going to withdraw the nomination, but I have to agree that they certainly meet the tour criterion. This is a good example of why the notability requirement for bands is too lax - does Wikipedia really need every band that piles itself into a VW Microbus and tours bars and Starbucks across the US? I don't think so, but I guess others do. --Brianyoumans 07:05, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
