Bad Lamps

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Appears to fail WP:NMUSIC. Only assertions of notability are appearances on blogs. No evidence of being on national music charts, appearing in reliable secondary sources, non-trivial coverage of a concert tour, major record labels, notability of the members, or any major music awards.

 * Delete. The PopMatters reference is better than anything I could find, and that article offers little coverage of the band itself, only identification ("indie music group Bad Lamps"), the song title ("Never Know the Difference") and a brief reaction ("I actually really like the song ... The subject matter and song lyrics match perfectly. Also, the musicians are clearly competent at what they do, and it makes you want to sing along"). Even the significant coverage (in reliable sources) for the fan-made YouTube video appears to be limited to that single article; the only other coverage I could find amounts to "Hey, check out this clip which uses SFW scenes from pornographic movies" followed by the embedded video. I'm not finding enough for the subject to pass WP:GNG or WP:BAND at this time.  Gongshow  Talk 19:36, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of enough sources. I searched as well for any reliable sources, but found a Facebook page and the PopMatters page. It seems this one isn't going to make the cut. SwisterTwister (talk) 05:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
