Agraceful
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non notable band. No reliable sources identified despite GS search. The only hope in the list of Google news archive hits was a review that turned out to be user-contributed, not editorial appears likely. All the other references were in club listings and the like.

 * Not quite sure. They have one release on Sumerian Records which seems marginally notable (distributed by Red Distribution, a fairly non-trivial artist roster), and there is one review in the Cleveland Leader.

 * That is the review that is user-submitted&mdash;essentially a blog entry. It is not actually part of the newspaper. Bongo   matic  05:30, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * How do you know it's use submitted and not by someone who legitimately works for the paper? (There were three user submitted reviews in one of their album articles, which I redirected.)

 * I don't. However, the Leader claims to be a blog. See its advertising page. This is not the historical newspaper. Bongo  matic  05:45, 13 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:MUSIC. Multiple, non-trivial coverage from reliable, verifiable sources required. If all we're going off of to confer notability is a review in the Cleveland Leader, that's not passing the standard. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  06:56, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * And to the Sumerian Records point, the band needs to release more than one album (and then we need to decide that Sumerian is "one of the more important indie labels"). Relevant quote: "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels."

 * Delete now that I'm certain of the lack of verifiability regarding the few reviews I've found. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 21:24, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
