deletion
A music article must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. The Orlando Weekly is a suitable reference, but really only indicates some coverage in a small part of one US state, and at some conventions. I don't think that the other, web-only, sources are reliable independent sources.

The three albums don't seem to be notable, and there is no indication that the band is signed to a label. Sharing the stage with notable groups doesn't transfer their notability. It's a bit spammy in places, although I've seen worse rapid-fire delivery and ingenuity add the perfect spice... bringing authority to the creativity... His unique guitar sounds and solos... technical excellence etc.

It would help if you put your references in-line, and formatted them to be easier to read, eg  [url description]  instead of just  url . So you get Orlando Weekly instead of http://orlandoweekly.com/boo/arts-entertainment/music-readers-picks-1.1174942

I'm not unsympathetic, but you need better evidence of notability, and a bit more work on the text  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  12:19, 20 September 2011 (UTC) \

Can someone review the article on my user page and tell me if it would be marked for quick deletion?
 * Essentially, we have a local band, recognized by local press. The band fails to meet either the general notability guidelines or the topical notability guidelines for bands. At the very least, you need to find significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Anything less may result in deletion.

 * I've formatted your references and ELs. The article is better, but basically its little known unsigned musicians making unknown albums in a corner of Florida. I think that unless you can find a bit more national coverage, like the Wired review, even if I don't redelete there is a good chance someone else will.

 * Well, try it and see. I wont delete if you repost, but that doesn't mean no one else will. There are a number of band articles that strictly speaking don't meet the notability criteria, but are referenced and look OK, so yours has as good a chance as the others  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  18:43, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
