The result was keep. The consensus is to keep, though the argument under WP:MUSIC is not overwhelming. Some effort has been put into the article, so I hope additional referencing is added to avoid returning to AFD.--Kubigula (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Payola (band)

Payola (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Article does not assert notability despite being tagged for 1 month. The band don't appear to be on the catalogue for Vanguard Records, and the only independent publication appears to be a review in an online magazine. Papa November (talk) 09:06, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep meet WP:MUSIC#C9 for their winning of The Rock FM Jim Beam Rock Search for the Vodafone Homegrown festival in Wellington NZ. It was a New Zealand wide competition. (and the buggers beat my band too damn them). [1],[2]. I'll add these references in as soon as the final of Survivor has finished.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 09:29, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep - The Vanguard information should be deleted unless a source can be found, but they have released an album with a major NZ label (Jayrem). Amplifier is the biggest NZ music website and I would consider it a reliable source - it doesn't use any user-contributed material. There should be overage in the NZ music print media too, but that is much harder to track down. dramatic (talk) 04:29, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Vanguard Records is currently the name for the band's own label apparently which is currently sorting through a distribution deal as I have been informed. Worth leaving in I say. Their independent EP was meant to be Vanguard initial release but it was kept to a limited edition primarily to Itunes worldwide which has sold out. "The People Will Prevail" is thier 2nd full length that they are releasing this year in part via Vanguard and in conjunction with another label so the reference is worth staying. The amplifier reference is watertight and I know of writings in various news papers through out the country which should be sourced. I remember seeing the first album reviewed on Good Morning TV by a Dominion Post music writer also.I know one of the members and he has told me 2 new videos are released after May and they are lining up further media articles also at the moment so further information will become available. Also worth noting perhaps is their involvement with noted ex pat Christopher Read who resides in Australia as a publisher etc and has worked with The Vines, Ed Kupper etc and was apparently a big fan of the first album and was him who tried to set up the Joe Henry thing as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.13.112 (talk) 07:50, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment Please supply a reference for it being their own label. Since it is clearly not the American label, I shall unlink it from that article. dramatic (talk) 11:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment Good point how do i do that though? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.152.77.215 (talk) 09:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep The discography differs from the website so need to be updated, more source material is available as i have seen it so will look thru —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.89.13.112 (talk) 08:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
