Droom (band)

College radio charts aren't reliable sources, nore are club charts. No other assertation of notability whatsoever. If not for the two thin references I might have put it up for A7. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 16:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete WP:MUSIC.    Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 22:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I originally declined speedy deletion because a brief search suggested the band may meet WP:MUSIC.  I also added the two sources that are in the article.  I can't say I care that much or want to work on the article anymore, but it seems to me that the band probably meets WP:MUSIC criteria 1 and 5.  It looks like a valid stub to me that meets WP:V and WP:N.  Why not let the Wiki process play out and hopefully someone interested in synthpop will eventually come along and make a decent article out of it?-- Kubigula (talk) 22:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The article has little notability. It also needs to be cleaned up.-- LAA Fan  22:24, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have added four more references. It's enough for WP:N or WP:MUSIC criterion #1. Besides, they meet criterion #5 with their releases on the record label A Different Drum. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 23:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  jonny - m  t  03:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete An unlikly research topic, little content. Prom3th3an (talk) 03:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * "Unlikely research topic"—is that an argument of WP:NOTINTERESTING? Also, the fact that the article currently is fairly short is not an insurmountable problem; more content can be added from the sources noted. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 04:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Fails WP:MUSIC and WP:N. Google Test returns 4 relevant results; one being the article itself, one being one of the listed sources, one being an Amazon review and other being a remote reference on a synthpop fansite. ~ Ameliorate U T @ 11:54, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure from your comment if you did not notice the references the article currently has, or if you believe they are insufficient. (If it's the latter, might I inquire as to why you believe that?) There are two album reviews from The Province, two from Exclaim!, and one article about the band's tour from the San Antonio Express-News. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 15:00, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. I'll also add the the "Google test" is somewhat discredited as a method of measuring notability.  However, even if it were valid, Droom gets waaay more than four relevant hits.  Take another look at the result - there are at least four relevant hits on the first page alone.-- Kubigula (talk) 16:15, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Paul Erik. --Bardin (talk) 08:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
