Among the Echoes

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contested speedy which on reflection I thought might be better at AfD, since some assertion of notability is made. However, the band does not appear to meet notability (in Wikipedia terms) as set out at WP:BAND. EyeSerene talk 14:36, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: no third party reliable sources could be found, fails to meet WP:Music. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 15:10, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. They have not placed in a major music competition and have certainly not performed for a work of notable media. Fails every point of WP:BAND. Perhaps they will be notable some day, but at the moment they are far from it. Postrock1 (talk) 00:34, 19 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: Markdashney is the author of this article and can not vote. Spada II ♪♫ (talk) 06:19, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * That's incorrect Spada. Mark's input on this AfD is as welcome and as valid as anyone else's. I've restored their comment below. EyeSerene talk 14:37, 19 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Although the band may not have been the subject of multiple newspaper articles, they did appear to have met notability by placing in a major music competition and performing music in a television show for a work of media that is notable. Therefore, two standards have been met at WP:BAND. Markdashney (talk) 19:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - It should be noted that all third party sources mention the band's previous name "Escaping Anxiety" before the name was changed to Among the Echoes. Rogers TV is a notable media. It is owned by Rogers Communications, which "is one of Canada's largest communications companies, particularly in the field of wireless communications and cable television". The major music competition, Bandwarz, has been run for seventeen consistent years and has acts enter from the area of the Regional Municipality of Durham, "but acts from all over Southern Ontario also enter the competition".

 * Comment. Note both of the above keep votes are from the same user. Rogers TV is a community channel and thus anyone could go on and play music on there, which would not make them notable. From what I've looked up about it surely Bandwarz cannot count as a notable competition, it seems so minor and has no article on WP. That point of WP:BAND refers to competitions such as BBC Young Musician of the Year etc. Postrock1 (talk) 22:33, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. It does not appear to meet Wikipedia notability standards, as the band is unsigned as of yet nd has only released one EP, another one of which appears to be upcoming. There are also some sourcing problems and external link violations. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 20:55, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
