[edit] The Daze (Austin band)

The Daze (Austin band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Non-notable local band. Their main claim to notability, and the reason that the article survived CSD, is that they were filmed for a 2009 release movie. Will (film) mentions them in passing, but they appear to be far from the center of the movie. But IMHO this still does not satisfy notability requirements.

  • Delete. I'm the one who removed the speedy tag yesterday as I felt the article asserted notability, and I wanted to give the creator a chance to show it in the article. However, I could not come up with reliable source references that the band meets WP:MUSIC and I don't think that the movie appearance is sufficient for notability under the basic notability guidelines.

  • I too have made an attempt to find sources, in Google News archives and in a library database of newspaper and magazine articles. I found nothing. Delete in the absence of reliable third-party sourcing. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 19:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

  • There is a picture of the band on set. The name of the band is on the bass drumFitzsimpson (talk) 16:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
The issue is not whether the band actually performed for the movie, but whether that performance is enough to get past the notability requirements as set out at WP:MUSIC. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
