Beekeeper (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article about a band, not properly referenced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The attempted notability claims here are charting #102 on Canada's campus radio charts (a WP:BADCHART that cannot establish musical notability, as it isn't IFPI-certified), airplay on CBC Radio 3 which is unverified as their name appears nowhere at all in the page that's being cited to support it, and a concert tour which is sourced solely by an unreliable blog and the band's own self-published website rather than the WP:GNG-worthy coverage about the tour that's actually required to pass the touring criterion. This is, further, referenced almost entirely to blogs, university student media, the band's own website and other sources that aren't support for notability; there's just one citation to a real major daily newspaper, and even that's just their hometown newspaper giving them a Q&A interview in which they're talking about themselves in the first person, which means it would be fine for use if the other sourcing were stronger but can't vault them over GNG all by itself. Essentially, nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to be referenced a lot better than this. Bearcat (talk) 20:19, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
