[edit] Two Seconds
This was created in late May, and was deprodded. I do not believe this to, at all, be meeting WP:BAND. No major public releasing hitting any charts or anything. The 3rd result in the search for their publisher is the publisher's myspace page. Can't find major radio networks nor a unique style notable to north california. They are just an little band someone formed. Not yet notable at all. The following articles are also included in this AfD, as they are ancillary additions added recently to what would already be a non-notable band:
Lily Faden
Sierra Frost

- As a friend of the band I attempted to bring their pages up to Wikipedia standards. If I can offer any defense on their behalf: Two Seconds is a signed band in the San Francisco Bay Area, receiving airplay on major radio Live 105; they are playing a radio festival tomorrow sponsored by the radio station, sharing the bill with acts such as AFI, The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand and Echo & The Bunnymen (see information [here], with the band's name listed). They played the Noise Pop 2006 festival with Smoosh, a band signed to Barsuk Records. They are making an impact on the local scene; however, if Wikipedia only desires to feature articles about nationally charting rock bands, then it is understandable that this article would be deleted. I have only contributed to this article as an attempt to help Wikipedia, not to violate WP:BAND. - Slagkick 20:27, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- First, I'd like to say that I looked throught the article's history, and I think you did a nice job improving this article. I hope you decide to stay and contribute to other articles. However, from what I've seen so far, this band appears to be strictly local at this point, and does not qualify for an article at this time under WP:BAND. If they should ever meet the notability guidelines, then I think you'd find more support for their inclusion. ScottW 02:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- I am contacting Sierra and Lily with the notability criteria to see if they can offer any support to meet the criteria, I know they have a second album in the works, though I don't know if PopSmear Records counts as a "one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)". (and sorry about the disorganization, I'm new to editing the wiki and it was my first article) Rudd103 18:22, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- Its not so bad, its just that they don't meet WP:BAND. That sounds harsh, but there's a de facto level of inclusion as a sort of bar to keep to keep wikipedia about stuff that would warrent an entry in an encyclopedia. There's nothing keeping them from eventually gaining enough notability to warrent an article. Who knows, one of the articles on band that is deleted off of wikipedia could become big one day. Its impossible to tell right now, so rather than guessing, they don't get an article yet... Kevin_b_er 02:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I haven't heard back from them. I'll keep a copy of the article on my computer, is there an accepted or best way to re-post the article if I get new information that meets the notability requirements? Rudd103 17:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- I believe the general procedure is to go through the deletion review process at WP:DRV. If the article is deleted and you recreate it with similar content without undergoing the review, it will be subject to speedy deletion. ScottW 18:08, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Save it as a subpage of your userspace until such time that it meets WP:BAND. - Keith D. Tyler
- Done, thanks for the idea. - Rudd103 00:21, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
