Esimple

Non notable band. Google (Esimple + Costa Rica) only shows about 800 hits, many being myspace or youtube related. -- LaNicoya  •Talk•   07:28, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Neutral. The article doesn't do a good job of asserting notability, but following links from the Spanish Wikipedia article indicates that they've received some media coverage. This article calls them "los hijos célebres del rock and roll herediano". However, most of the others seem to give them only passing mentions. I've really no idea what counts as notable in the Costa Rica music scene. EALacey 13:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. There are several articles devoted to albums by this band that should also be deleted if the Esimple article goes. EALacey 00:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Even if it doesn't, those articles should probably be merged into the parent per WP:MUSIC. Take Esimple: Macguiversh (2007) for example—there's not much there. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:34, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Weak delete My Spanish is rudimentary at best, so I will swiftly change my opinion if somebody can produce reliable sourcing for this. :) However, I did a search on the band and its latest release to see if it had generated talk in newspapers, journals, what have you. Once Google eliminated "omitted some entries very similar", there were 44 hits and not a reliable source among them. The claim of "constant media exposure" seems dubious. I did a search on the first punk rock festival, and came up only with self-referential hits. Among the only potential sources at the Spanish version of the article, we have a newspaper that would be excluded for listing dates & times only (. Nacion gives them some coverage—including a review of their album, the only really substantial article I found (see Google's fun translation of that here)—but most mentions are trivial and it does not seem to satisfy criterion #1 of WP:MUSIC. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Nothing there that gives the impression of passing WP:MUSIC. Caknuck (talk) 00:32, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
