Darlings of chelsea

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I denied my own A7 tag after realizing they were voted "Best New Band of 2009" by Mass Movement Magazine. The only problem? Mass Movement looks like a blog, and I couldn't find any independent non-trivial coverage of the band that isn't underground or a blog. I see nothing else showing notability, a single (uncharted) release on a small independent label with a website noting that "they like it" doesn't satisfy WP:MUSIC. - 2 ... says you, says me 17:39, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

 * There is coverage in Chart, including this and this and in Exclaim! here. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 18:48, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, not really sure on whether those constitute WP:RS are they authoritative sources in the Canadian music world? I'd like to get some more input from the wider community. - 2 ... says you, says me 19:13, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I thought that this entry conformed to the guidelines for many reasons, specifically "multiple non-trivial published works"; Chart and Exclaim are arguably Canada's two biggest music magazines ([1] | 2) and Mass Movement Magazine is not a blog, it is a print magazine that just moved to digital format, has writers from Rolling Stone Magazine and has offices in both the UK and US. The band also has rotation on CBC Radio 3 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBC_Radio_3) and has members from three other notable bands as listed in Wikipedia: Jay "Halo" Millette - The Black Halos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Halos), Robby Ruckus - Robin Black (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Black) and Chris "Jimmy" Nova - Kill Cheerleader (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_Cheerleader). I'm not sure if this is in the guideline but I've also seen the album for sale at Amazon.com, eMusic.com and iTunes. http://www.amazon.com/The-Mimico-Sessions/dp/B0029CXBFS/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1248813922&sr=301-1 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocknrollaction (talk • contribs) 20:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Why didn't you say so?! If they're in the rotation at Radio 3 then they definitely do satisfy WP:MUSIC. - 2 ... says you, says me 04:48, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
