[edit] The Script (the band)

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

I declined an A7 speedy on this because there is an assertion of notability ("The recent hit 'We Cry' received single of the week on Today FM and on BBC Radio 1"), however without references this completely fails WP:MUSIC. Recommend deletion. Hersfold (t/a/c) 23:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep—The page is one day old. I suggest inserting a notability template instead and give the editors time to build a proper page.—RJH (talk) 16:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - A reference has been added, making it pass WP:MUSIC. Save-Me-Oprah(talk) 21:22, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Generally, if a band hasn't released a single record, they have no shot of passing WP:BAND. The source cited is the band's record label; of course, to establish notability a source must be independent of the subject, which isn't the case here. This band simply isn't notable by Wikipedia's standards, at least not yet. faithless (speak) 07:31, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
  • weak keep The claim of notability which is now sourced appears to be a good reason to keep although I don't think it technically meets the requirements of WP:BAND. JoshuaZ (talk) 20:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep – A very new band that does not need an article yet, but it has one. –thedemonhog talk • edits 04:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak delete The article appears to be notable; however, it fails WP:BAND. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 05:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
