[edit] Slender Means

This band doesn't seem to meet the guidelines at WP:MUSIC (their first album is released tomorrow, apparently, by a record label that doesn't appear to have an article in Wikipedia). I don't know enough about the indie rock scene to know if the article is worth keeping or if this is vanity. -Aranel ("Sarah") 00:59, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, vanity/promo, wrong side of the line. Wile E. Heresiarch 03:51, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: 4,000 google hits, numerous reviews, disc available on Amazon. They fit WP:MUSIC by being notable in their field (indie rock). This one just needs to be expanded. JDoorjam 04:01, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. These guys appear to be building a reputation ie Allmusic.com article albeit a rudimentary one and some local seattle coverage. I don't know that WP:Music criteria have been met although they may well be soon. Capitalistroadster 06:24, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, for the time being. --Agamemnon2 09:27, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

And what, delete them when they're no longer not famous? --Tysto 15:01, 2005 August 23 (UTC)

• Delete and welcome them back when they're rich and famous and can afford a PR guy to write a decent entry. --Tysto 15:01, 2005 August 23 (UTC)
• Delete. I see no assertion of meeting WP:MUSIC. Simply being in the "indie" category does not meet the criteria in any way I can see. Friday (talk) 15:45, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep right side of the line! Trollderella 20:56, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Abstain D. J. Bracey (talk) 21:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I see no evidence of meeting any of WP:MUSIC. There's a chance they could be big in indie, but there's no evidence that they are, and they don't appear to be overwhelmingly important locally either. One album is insufficient in any case. -Splash 22:05, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete nn band vanity. Not notable yet. Come back later. --Etacar11 03:39, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
