[edit] Wires On Fire

Wires On Fire (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

There does seem to be press on this group but much of the early Ghits seem to be from the same press release. I'm having trouble satisfying WP:RS and WP:V in my searches. I'm willing to admit to a mistake on this nom if others can find more info. Pigman 03:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC) ALSO: There seems to be considerable conflict of interest since the sole editor of the article is named after the manager and brother of a band member.

  • Neutral Found a few very small articles, but also found that have been on tour with some very notable artists.Ridernyc 06:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • No-brainer Keep As Michael Shuman is a current member of Queens of the Stone Age, this band meets WP:Notability (music) criterion 6:Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable. Furthermore, a redirect to Queens of the Stone Age would be inappropriate as Wires On Fire is not a side-project, but a fully-fledged band in its own right.Skomorokh incite 09:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per WP:MUSIC #6 as noted by Skomorokh.--Cube lurker 13:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Article needs clean-up, but clearly meet WP:BAND criteria #4 (touring), 5 (multiple releases on a significant indie label) and 6 (as per Skomorokh). Bondegezou 14:14, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I'm uncertain if there is a protocol for withdrawing an AfD nomination but I'm currently satisfied that notability is apparent and verifiable. The article has sources and looks much better now. Pigman 16:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
No worries; there's no formal procedure that I know of, just make the closing admin aware that you are withdrawing the nomination, and as long as there are no delete votes, the Afd merits a speedy keep. Skomorokh incite 19:01, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Skomorokh but also for the not-inconsiderable fact that the album was on Buddyhead. tomasz. 12:29, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
