[edit] Peter and the wolf (band)

Peter and the wolf (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Self-released band. Article created by single-purpose account. Album has indeed been reviewed on Pitchfork, but their other 3 references are to the band's own pages (including, you guessed it, a Myspace page). Probably fails WP:N, probably even fails WP:BAND.

• Delete. Non-notable band on non-notable label. Lacks verification or reliable sources. JodyB _{Roll, Tide, Roll} 01:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - The band has been on multiple national tours and has plenty of media coverage. Check the left side of the MySpace page under 'recent press' - some of those are trivial coverage, but many are substantial - here, here, and here for example. Torc2 20:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• Comment - I tried to move this to fix the capitalization, but there was a duplicate article already at Peter and the Wolf (band), which wasn't listed as AfD. I replaced the text of this article (Peter and the wolf (band) - the one in this AfD) and added a redirect to the correct link. If you still want to do the AfD, go ahead and the other article. Thanks Torc2 20:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

argh - you've just confused the crap out of me. Now I'm AfDing a redirect? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

• Needs rewritten, but definitely a keeper - I find a bunch of other refs for the band[1] [2] [3] [4] in a few different places, and on NPR; a Pitchfork ref refers to a country-wide tour. I think it's covered by WP:MUSIC, though as usual I'd be more comfortable with albums from notable labels. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
• comment - There certainly is no label notability, and a number of those sources seem like internet entertainment sites that you'd expect any band to apply to for tour support promo. BUT, since they have had a couple small features on ABC and NPR's websites, if somebody wants to suggest that those 2 are sufficient and volunteer to clean up the article using those sources, I'll happily apologize and withdraw my nom.

• also - I have added the sources brought up in this AfD to the "external links" section of the article, and tagged it with "cleanup". AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
• withdraw by nom - I doubt anyone will ever volunteer to clean up the article, but at least it's got some semi-decent sources that some could argue prove notability... the edit to a redirect also messes things up for the AfD. Withdraw, and sorry for the waste of time. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 18:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
