[edit] The Fling (band)

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

I declined the A7 on this one, but it looks quite unlikely to clear WP:BAND, with just one minor third party reference in the article at the moment. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 22:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, non-notable band with no notable albums. References are not reliable. Cunard (talk) 23:15, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. Notable reference has now been included on the page at the bottom. KROQ is a radio station that has played the band and there is a link to the playlist on KROQ's official website under the references section.Blue Gillian (talk) 23:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, references have been updated to meet notability standards.Blue Gillian (talk) 23:24, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • keep with the new references. Fulfills the WP notability criteria, with multiple independent sources. Ironholds (talk) 23:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete I've removed the unreliable sources; the OC source was the only one worth keeping. Find more like it and I might go for weak keep. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 01:19, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable, local station playlist doesn't count for much and certainly doesn't satisfy WP:BAND. It's been speedied 3 times already...Cquan (after the beep...) 01:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 01:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Another third party link has been added to the references section.Blue Gillian (talk) 02:57, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment a page for the band Letter Kills links to The Fling page Blue Gillian (talk) 05:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete subject to my question below. AndyJones (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Question Blue Gillian, can you take a look at WP:BAND and tell us why you think this band fulfils the definition there (assuming you do)? AndyJones (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. -- Fabrictramp | talk to me 16:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Answer It meets multiple guidelines of WP:Band.

1. "It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles..."

  • There are at least two articles from magazines/newspapers under the references.

2. "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable..."

  • Dustin was in Letter Kills, a band that sold over a 100,000 records for Island Records, which is a major label.Blue Gillian (talk) 17:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
