American Fangs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unremarkable band. The article is sort of written like the example given in WP:GARAGE. Not nominating for A7 because there is a (non-credible) claim to notability (peaking at #2 at a non-notable chart, and having 62k+ views on VEVO), plus I did find a few pages covering the band. However, these did not appear to be significant coverage but merely announcements of upcoming releases, which can be used as sources for content, but not to establish notability. If anyone finds sources that I may have missed, ping me. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 16:49, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. The best coverage I found was this, this, and this - the second and third of these are the band talking about themselves, albeit in magazines that give the band some claim of notability, and the first looks like it's a remixed press release. If anyone can find more to add to these it might be worth keeping, but otherwise I think we go with deletion until further coverage emerges, perhaps when the new album comes out. --Michig (talk) 14:36, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Weak keep, on the basis that when the article was nominated (almost as soon after it was created) it was in a dire state, but has now been improved to include reliable coverage in Revolver Magazine, Rock Sound and an attack by a 'vampire' reported in the Wisconsin State Journal. There's lots of scope for clean-up and the article may become yet another repository for music fancruft, but the band has a measurable level of notability all the same.
