Club Smith

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable band. Just a few non-local appearences as support act to other more notable bands and at a couple of festivals. No chart singles/EPs and no albums. No significant mention in reliable sources. Doubt they meet WP:BAND. Astronaut (talk) 04:25, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Delete - does not appear to meet the standards for bands. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:33, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Keep - the band are prominently featured at http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/festivals/readingandleeds/2010/artists/clubsmith/ and are featured in multiple music reviews, a summary of which can be seen on their website. Furthermore the band have recorded and released a full-length album in Japan available at (sorry for the unicode link) http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%87%E3%82%A3%E3%82%B7%E3%82%B8%E3%83%A7%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BA-%E3%82%B6%E3%83%BB%E3%83%98%E3%82%A2%E3%83%BC/dp/B000WGUJEO/ref=pd_rhf_shvl_3. The band's Maida Vale session with Huw Stephens on Radio 1 was around half an hour. The band could arguably fit three of the WP:BAND criteria although I accept there inclusion is subject to debate.

 * Keep – Subject has had significant coverage in such newspapers as The Press and the Sunday Sun .  Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 00:07, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment The Press and The Sunday Sun are both local North East England newspapers. What's more, with The Press describing Club Smith as "up-and-coming " and the Sunday Sun article saying things like "It’s a great opportunity to draw in some more fans" and "Club Smith are wary of getting carried away and assuming the festival date will be their big break." it seems the band is not yet notable enough to meet the criteria of WP:BAND. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Astronaut (talk • contribs)
