Contested prod. “Up and coming” band from Derby with no record deal. Claim to notability is that they have a myspace page, came third in a local “battle of the bands” competition and have played a few gigs in local pubs. Which is great, but nowhere near meeting WP:BAND. NME (possibly the best source for new British bands) lists them in their unsigned bands database but the only content is a press release, and other stuff mirrored from the MySpace site. I believe this is a good faith contribution from a new editor, but ultimately this band is nowhere near inclusion in Wikipedia. Iain99 21:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete - Does not assert notability, fails WP:MUSIC. It's hard to get behind any article that starts with "young up and coming band". --Bongwarrior 21:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

    • Comment I would have speedied, but I thought there was a weak (if incorrect) claim to notability, so I prodded instead, and that was contested by the creator so here we are. I won't complain if someone else decides it's speediable though. Iain99 21:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as an A7, so tagged. Ten Pound Hammer • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 22:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete I believe I would have so marked it initially, definite notability problems. †Ðanieltiger45† Talk to me 23:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
