Braintree (band)

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

I'm not finding references to backup claims of charting in Billboard. Not familiar with the "Independent Sales Chart". Article lacks 3rd party references and I'm having problems finding any myself probably due to the relatively common name. RadioFan (talk) 22:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: No evidence that the band has appeared in notable charts; author admits that they haven't had airplay. No evidence for coverage in press; Google search for "alternative press magazine" braintree "important indie bands" yields nothing other than the article.  Article fails to provide any verification for claims made, and although is clearly not an A7, fails WP:BAND. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 23:32, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Billboard.com specifically states that the band's albums the self titled debut album, Smoke and Mirrors, Tsicavo and Fabricate have not charted nor are there any album reviews available there.--RadioFan (talk) 01:13, 22 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete. The "importance" section would have been enough for deletion under CSD G11, with all sorts of aggrandized claims made in the first-person. In any case, the article has not a source to its name, barely anything that asserts importance under WP:BAND--the article reads more like a magazine article about the band or a promotional writing about the band rather than something in an encyclopedia.


 * I'd also like to comment on something not directly related with this AfD: surely a band with the chart success the article claims would have better listings on Last.fm. TheLetterM (talk) 03:45, 26 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - Unless reliable sources satisfying WP:BAND can be found. Narthring (talk  • contribs) 18:00, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per the above. I'm unable to find sourcing to cover this band, and thus can't see it meeting the requirements of WP:BAND. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 16:57, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
