[edit] Que bono

I'm not finding the reliable sources to show that this is a notable band. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:40, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Is the BBC a reliable source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.45.13 (talk) 13:49, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - I found the BBC link but have problems opening it so I cannot verify it. I could not find a second verifiable source as required by WP:MUSIC. There does not seem to be an international presence which is also required. The demo disk and the live performance disk is not helpful. However, the remain cut was supposedly recorded by Naked Records. However, the recording was in 1981 and the label was founded in the 1990s. So, to me, that entry in the article is suspect. --BlindEagletalk~contribs 15:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
    • The record "company" was set up by the band in 1981 for the release of one single. So they were entirely different companies with the same name, not unlikely for such a generic word to be used twice more than a decade apart. Masaruemoto 04:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment: I just opened the BBC link. All it states is this: John Peel Session: 09/06/1981 - Que Bono. Producer - Dale Griffin, Engineer - Mike Robinson, Studio - Langham 1. TRACKLIST Burton Wood, Houses, Twister, Siren's Scream. LINE UP: Pete Mulvihill (Drums), Jane Mulvihill (Vocals), Alan Maskell (Guitar) Simon Hall (Bass)Seahamlass 17:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seahamlass (talk • contribs)

  • Keep; The Peel Sessions are significant (there is List of Peel Sessions and Category:Peel Sessions recordings). Appearing on Peel Sessions means they just about pass WP:MUSIC #12; "Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network", and that's only based on what can be verified online. There are other claims that also pass WP:MUSIC, but can't be easily verified. Masaruemoto 04:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Keep, Peel Sessions bands should be notable enough. 96T 08:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

KEEP: The band did indeed exist and are already listed elsewhere in Wikipedia for the entry for Town Hall Steps magazine. Articles on the band can be found at the Town Hall Steps website Town Hall Steps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marcgibbons (talk • contribs) 22:38, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

That's not a viable argument. Besides, it seems this user was the one who added the mention of Que Bono to that page just minutes after writing this review. Okiefromoklabut I'm not a hick 19:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Even with the Peel Sessions. And that's only because no one (including myself, I tried) can find reliable documentation about this band. We simply can't have an article that can't be sourced. And keep in mind, .com and .co.uk websites aren't necessarily reliable sources. Certainly, one .co.uk website is not sufficient to cite an article. So far, all it seems we've been able to find from more reliable sources (BBC being the only one that I found) is that the band existed and was on Peel Sessions.

Addendum: if there were articles about Que Bono on the Town Hall Steps website, I think I would look at this a little differently. But, upon checking it out, there is only one readable online blurb, which doesn't say much. Okiefromoklatalk to me 19:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
