[edit] Spill (U.S. band)

Spill (U.S. band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Appears to be a nonnotable band — I couldn't see any criteria in WP:MUSIC that it passed. Nyttend (talk) 15:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Could not find any acceptable sources to speak of in quick searches. Cirt (talk) 17:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

  • DO NOT DELETE.WP:MUSIC states that the band must "contain at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable". Keith Reber, the drummer, went on to play bass for the band A Dozen Furies (signed to Maverick label and former members of the band Unloco). Keith and the band were on tour with Ozzfest. Ryan Cabrera, who is signed to Atlantic Records and recorded his first record with the Goo Goo Doll's John Resnek, recorded backup vocals on Spill's "No Work Tomorrow" album. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ipnotknown (talk • contribs) 00:41, 30 April 2008
  • Comment – I searched Google News archives and also a library database of newspaper and magazine articles, and I could find no sources to add to the article. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 02:10, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment- The band meets the criteria established by WP:MUSIC. (Comments partially removed by user) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ipnotknown (talk • contribs) 04:09, 30 April 2008
  • I was not searching for recent news. The database I looked in has newspaper articles back to the early 1990s. Also, the drummer going on to play with A Dozen Furies might not help with regard to notability since the article on that band was deemed not notable enough for its own article; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Dozen Furies (2nd nomination). And a notable artist (Cabrera) singing back-up is not part of WP:MUSIC criteria. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 15:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
  • DO NOT DELETE. - A Dozen Furies was a signed band. Keith Reber was a member of that band. He was formerly a member of Spill. That fits the criteria. It is verifiable and Spill should not be deleted. Here it is, again. WP:MUSIC: Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable. A Dozen Furies was on MTV and they were signed. They toured with Ozzfest. I'm not understanding how they are not "notable"? Also not sure why there is such a witchhunt over this... A Ryan Cabrera fan would probably be interested to know of other works, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ipnotknown (talk • contribs) 15:45, 30 April 2008
