[edit] Radish (band)

No notability asserted or established. Allmusic.com lists only 1 album which doesn't satisfy WP:MUSIC. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 23:09, July 21, 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Delete, a band that was built up but never delivered apparently, according to Allmusic. A case might be made for keep though. --TheMidnighters 23:24, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup/expand. The album was released on Mercury Records. The band contained Ben Kweller who has since gone on to have a successful solo career therefore meeting Wikimedia Music guidelines. Capitalistroadster 00:58, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Ahh, see, I never saw the mention of Ben Kweller in the article. Changing vote to Keep. Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 05:03, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • In light of that, I have fixed up the article quite a bit in retribution for my mistaken nomination =) Sasquatch′↔Talk↔Contributions 05:10, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete borderline notable at best. JamesBurns 03:36, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. One album should be enough, given that WP is not paper. Yes, I know that some who don't like inclusiveness have written guidelines that say two albums but that seems pretty arbitrary to me. Getting an album released by a major label is an achievement beyond the overwhelming majority of bands and should be sufficient for an encyclopaedia with almost limitless resources. What we should be asking -- and some sadly never do -- is not "how do we look if we have an article on X?" (because obviously most visitors to WP don't even know we have the offending article) but "how do we look if we don't cover X?". Yes, I know. Not many people will look up the band Radish, but still, where's the harm in a short, well-written article for those who do? Grace Note 04:38, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
