Casa de Fantasma

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No real notability, unreferenced, nothing on google of note.  Benny Digital  Speak Your Brains 07:23, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I can find no evidence of their "widespread acclaim". Their first performance was two days ago, so they are unlikely to have achieved notability yet. According to the article it may have been their last performance too, so it doesn't look good.-- Beloved Freak  10:17, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Dear all,

I would firstly like to make clear that i am not a member of Casa de Fantasma, so this isnt a case of shameless self promotion. The band is clealy not a nationwide notable event. It is however a rare case of 4 people coming together and producing geninely innovative and good music, the results of which caused enthusiastic approval amongst a number of people that were present on the 9th May. Consequently,as i have learnt recently, they were appouched by an event organiser and asked to play at Joshua Brooks (a well established nightclub in Manchester) on 24th May. Moreover they will, apperently, be auditioning for Parklife Festival on 11th and 12th June.

Their popularity seems to be snowballing, as my first contribution to Wikipedia has been this article, it will be somewhat demoralizing if this article is deleted and it turns out that Casa de Fantasma do become 'notable'.

I will find relaible internet sources as soon as they are available. In the mean time i hope you consider my beseechment.

And of course if you are free why not come to Joshua Brooks on 24th and listen to the sounds of Casa de Fantasma (Jazz infused with Hip Hop)

Thank you, Kindest Regards

 * Hello Jack. We are always glad to have new editors contribute, and I really hope that you stay and continue doing so regardless of the outcome of this discussion. In response to your arguments let me point out that the quality of the band is not in question, that is, we don't judge whether their music is good or not, and it doesn't have any weight on whether the article is kept or not. What is in question is the notability of the band, and by notability we are referring to a very particular interpretation of the word (see also WP:BAND). In short, what is normally needed so a subject can be considered notable is to have received significant coverage in independent reliable sources, and at this point no such coverage has surfaced. Also let me point out that these decisions are not permanent. It is understood (WP:USUAL) that if circumstances change then a different course of action may be taken (for example, recreating the article down the road if the band becomes notable). There are many policies, guidelines and essays available out there, and they make for a very constructive reading. Don't hesitate to ask if you have doubts or if you need assistance - frankieMR (talk) 17:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

i understand, i hope i havent wasted everyones time, sorry for the confusion. Colcjh (talk) 17:10, 12 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete Doesn't look like it meets WP:BAND quite yet. Sounds like they're a promising band, so no prejudice towards re-creation if they eventually meet Wikipedia inclusion guidelines. Qrsdogg (talk) 01:48, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - in agreement with FrankieMR's lengthy and helpful explanation above. Notability has not been achieved by this band, and if they do anything else in the future, remember the "too soon" guideline. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 16:16, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
