The result was keep. WP:BAND, the relevant notability guideline, does call for multiple, non-trivial coverage of the subject in independent reliable sources, so I have given more weight to arguments that directly address the existence of this coverage. Consensus is that sufficient coverage exists to establish notability. (non-admin closure) Mz7 (talk) 04:08, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Air Traffic Controller (Band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability seems highly questionable. An independent band with no major releases, awards or influence, as required by the guideline.  Super Mario  Man  ( Talk ) 04:30, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as still questionable for the applicable notability and searches noticeably found nothing else. SwisterTwister   talk  04:40, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep The band was covered heavily in The Guardian, as shown in the citation to the article in the Wiki articles, as well as here. editorEهեইдအ😎 06:33, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete No reason to keep; clearly non-notable. &mdash; Music1201  talk  06:47, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable via the coverage received, e.g., , , , , , , , , . We have no guideline that 'requires' "major releases, awards or influence". I have to wonder whether those who have !voted delete here made even the slightest effort to search for coverage that would establish notability. --Michig (talk) 20:10, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Performance reviews in Boston Globe and the Guardian should suffice, as per the reviews found by Michig. Now those need to be added to the article, which is sparse. Also, it looks like the albums are produced by Sugarpop Records, and that should be added. Unfortunately, Sugarpop Records is the label founded by a member of the band, so the music almost self-published. This, however, seems to be common now that recording does not require a multi-million-dollar studio. 23:40, 6 April 2016 (UTC)LaMona (talk)
 * Keep "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." The Guardian and Boston Globe and MTV articles should suffice for this Wikipedia guideline for notability. Eleanorarroway (talk) 23:32, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
