Beat Union

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Fails to meet criteria for a music article, band has no notable members and are on unnotable label. Their biggest claim to fame seems to be the fact that one of their songs was once played on a BBC radio station. Hoponpop69 (talk) 03:19, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - while the bands toured with is impressive, I can find almost no independent sources mentioning the band, and not much that isn't "trivial coverage" --T-rex 03:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The nominator's rationale is disingenuous. Science Records is not an unknown; it is a sublabel of Virgin Records, and among its signees are Blessthefall, Greeley Estates and Photek. The fact that the band has no notable individual members is immaterial. Furthermore, they were not played once on BBC Radio; they had regular rotation on BBC 1. Alongside all this, Beat Union (who are British) played the entire American Warped Tour in 2008 and are embarking on a US tour with Flogging Molly in about 2 weeks. The group meets WP:MUSIC bullets 1, 4, and 11. Chubbles (talk) 13:47, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Chubbles has added many sources to the article. The band has been the subject of coverage in bbc.co.uk, Chart magazine, Alternative Press, and allmusic. There's enough there to meet WP:N (criterion #1 of WP:MUSIC). Keep. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 02:26, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
