Brothers Past

 * — (View AfD)

Jam band from Philly. Speedy deletion was overturned at deletion review since the article contains an (unsourced) assertion of notability. This is a procedural nomination, I have no opinion. ~ trialsanderrors 02:14, 3 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep according to their website they were at Bonaroo which I suppose means they're somewhat notable. page needs a lot of improvement.--Tainter 03:16, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment A personal web-site isn't generally a reliable source for notability, needs independent sources for WP:MUSIC. --Shirahadasha 10:38, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep major jam band, besides Bonnaroo, has played at SXSW and many other festivals and venues. Here are some references which I also listed on the deletion review: Bio on Jambase.com, a major jamband website, Profile of their appearance at the South by Southwest festival, A listing about their Bonnaroo performace, Album review from Glide Magazine.

 * Keep I started a temporary page in one of my sandboxes and I have just moved it over. Though it is slim as of right now, I will try and add more tonight (there are other sources I haven't added in yet). As for notability, I now have the first paragaph as the following: "Brothers Past is a progressive rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania who has been called "one of the most talked about independent acts in the nation." They have been featured in Relix and their self-released albums have been reviewed in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Daily News and the Village Voice." The statements also have sources to these claims. -- moe.RON   Let's talk  21:19, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Although not a big band on a big label they seem to meet WP:Music as they have several albums according to [www.gracenote.com] and their most recent is on amazon.com at rank 117,780 with effusive reviews (could be the band members, but I don't think so). They are on a small but reasonably notable record label started by a major force in a small but notable musical movement. I have seen string cheese incident (the creator of their label) in concert before and they definately have a major following all over the internet. This band is more on the edge but definately not your run of the mill myspace wannabes using wikipedia for promotion.--Nick Y. 21:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
