The result was   delete. Author's contention that the band meets WP:BAND #7 and #9 is not borne out by the references. JohnCD (talk) 21:15, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

A Hero Falls

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Speedy contested by author who makes an assertion that the band meets WP:GNG. A search reveals little WP:RS coverage except in lists of performers   (talk) 17:14, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Article meets two requirements on the subject of deletion: 1.Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city. 2.Has won or placed in a major music competition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanconcienne (talk • contribs) 18:12, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Any sources for either of these claims? Is mid-michgigan battle of the bands a major award?Slatersteven (talk) 18:49, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * "20 bands. 1 winner. Value of prize package approx $1,000.00". (from site cited) 5 Ghits. I think not a major award. (In 1990, there were 48 bands...) Peridon (talk) 19:17, 15 May 2010 (UTC)


 * And one of those hits is the page up for deletion. Does not seem to be anything more then a minor regional (not even statewide) music comp. But let the opposer find some sources to establish notabilty and support the claims he has made.Slatersteven (talk) 19:45, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Anyone any idea how many even possibly notable bands take part in BoB contests? I can't see many doing it. It's a way for local groups to get their name in the papers - locally. Peridon (talk) 19:48, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Doesn't look like anyone does. I quote from Battle of bands: "Prizes usually include cash, free recording time in a local recording studio, support or main slot at a local or large gig, a piece of new equipment, or a gift certificate." That doesn't make me think anyone notable would be there. A step on the road to notability, maybe, but not there yet. Peridon (talk) 17:28, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
