Coilback

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Semi-advertorialized article about a band whose notability claims are not reliably sourced. With the exception of four separate citations to the same non-notable webzine, this is otherwise referenced entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all: the band's own PR materials, the social networking profiles of the band members, a Q&A interview in which they're speaking about themselves on a non-notable YouTube channel, and directly affiliated people's personal e-mail fan newsletters. As always, bands are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their self-published web presence verifies that they exist: they need to be the subject of real media coverage which verifies passage of a notability criterion, and are not exempted from that just because they're active on Facebook or ReverbNation or YouTube.
