Coasts (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

unsourced non notable band. Does not meet CSD:A7, as they assert notability, but "signing" does not meet WP:BAND Gaijin42 (talk) 16:33, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

The article meets all 3 of the below WP:BAND requirements & has sources to back up all claims in the references section...

Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article. Read WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E for further clarifications)

Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.

Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhinodigital (talk • contribs) 16:54, 6 January 2015‎ (UTC)
 * The BBC link has no content in it "This episode is not available". So cannot WP:Verify anything. If it were available it might help satisfy #12, but a single story generally does not grant notability. The daystune link is not usable for the purposes of WP:BAND #1 "This criterion includes published works in all forms except publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves" The other two links do not contain any information whatsoever. I do not see any place where we can verify they have been placed into rotation by a major network or performed a notable song (by our criteria). Being popular on soundcloud doesn't really mean much to us currently (and isn't sourced in any case). Gaijin42 (talk) 17:21, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

I have swapped ref. 2 with a new source from Clash Magazine. A well known music journal.

I have now swapped reference 3 to include an iTunes link for the Made In Chelsea soundtrack. Proving that the band featured on the British television program of the same name, which is notable. Additionally, this fulfills criteria as a notable compilation album. Link available here: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/made-in-chelsea-soundtrack/id765759007

Although the playback link is now expired on the BBC website, it very clearly states within the article Jessie Ware Session + Coasts, Zane Lowe - describing the content within the radio show. Further more, the article specifically mentions that Coasts feature as one of Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Records' : Jessie Ware is in session for Zane, plus a Hottest Record from Coasts.. Please take a second look. I have provided a supporting reference (ref. 5), which is a tweet from Zane discussing his selection of the band as 'next hype'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhinodigital (talk • contribs) 10:25, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

- The band 'Coasts' are definitely notable, and worthy of this article (talk). I have reviewed the page and it looks fine, not sure why it is up for deletion at all... Whether or not the article has been referenced appropriately is another thing, but I think it has.

 * Keep - enough independent coverage and recognition to establish notability, including a documented international tour. Update read more carefully, international tour only starts this year. Earflaps (talk) 17:35, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - is this what Wikipedia is reduced to these days? Featured on BBC Radio 1 on 13 January 2015 EddieBernard (talk) 20:30, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
