Fails wp:band. BBC has their name in a list of other bands, and that is the only non-primary link. Too soon. Dennis Brown (talk) 22:11, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. The only reason it squeaked by WP:NBAND last time was because one of their songs was used as a theme song to the National Geographic show Philly Undercover. Other than that, I agree that it's too soon. I did hold some reservations over the theme since there weren't any non-primary sources to back it up, though.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:50, 24 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * Comment 2.0: I noticed that the rule for that under WP:NBAND has changed somewhat (or I just didn't see it earlier) to where that might be considered to be WP:ONEEVENT. There's not an article for Philly Undercover yet since it seems like it only started airing recently, so I'm thinking this should be a delete.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79


 * Delete. The only thing that kept this article last time was that they'd done a theme song for a television show and since that's the only thing of true notability about them at this time, they fail WP:NBAND this time around since it's just WP:ONEEVENT.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:28, 24 February 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:53, 1 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment- I found a recording of the song, which if confirmed, could help pass WP:BAND. Bzweebl (talk) 22:57, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Having a song uploaded by someone on YouTube doesn't add to notability. YouTube isn't a reliable source.  Informative, perhaps, but it fails the criteria set at WP:RS to allow references to establish notability.  Dennis Brown (talk) 23:21, 4 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. No significant coverage found. Subject may meet criterion 10 of WP:BAND but, per the guideline, "if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article." No article to redirect to at this time; a mention in the show's article would be appropriate when/if its created.  Gongshow  Talk 00:24, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
