Aaron Williams and the Hoodoo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Reads like an advert and looking at the sources I don't think the coverage they've received is in-depth enough to pass band notability criteria.  SITH   (talk)   18:42, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

Comment It indeed seems WP:ADVERT. The band's website lists apparently every bit of press they've received, some of which is referenced in the article. It might take a while to vet these to find those that are indeed notable. Most look small time or routine, but there may be a few good ones, especially among the niche Blues scene coverage. A couple of things need to be pointed out, though. The claim that they've been reviewed on NPR is disingenuous; WVPE.88.1 is merely the Elkhart, Wisconsin school system's radio station. Like many school radio programming, they partner with NPR content (as well as other public broadcast services), but emphatically is not the same as featured on NPR as a qualifying reliable source. Also, the reference from the AV Club is not that notable entity, but rather, a section of a local newspaper with the same name. Finally, to be on a first round ballot is for a Grammy is not a notable achievement. It is, in fact, nothing more than having one's entry accepted.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jack Frost (talk) 07:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC) Delete I commented on this 2 weeks ago without voting, pending time to review all sources. There is some niche blues publication/website attention, but cumulatively they do not add up to enough significance to break out beyond run-of-the-mill type coverage. As pointed out above, other sources (most, in fact) are local but they, too, are fairly run-of-the-mill. Other facts in the article contain a fair amount of puffery for minor achievements.
