Evolver One

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence to support WP:BAND. Article seems to be created solely to create an argument for keep in another AfD: Articles for deletion/Tulsa Pittaway Ajf773 (talk) 09:17, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Clear evidence to support WP:BAND. "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself" WP:BAND#1. Article has multiple sources that independent and reliable and provide coverage of Evolver One. "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." WP:BAND#2. Article has a verified claim on national charting. Article was not created to CREATE an argument for keep, it was created when challenged for evidence of the bands notability. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:29, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - notable South African band with a #1 on the charts Gbawden (talk) 12:14, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I cannot find evidence that it had a #1 single on the national charts. Sources?? Ajf773 (talk) 03:46, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - for reasons above. Ouseriv (talk) 03:22, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - "Article has a verified claim on national charting" This has not been verified. National charts should follow WP:GOODCHARTS and not have some random website state 'the artist has a chart topping song'. - The   Magnificentist  15:09, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
 * South Africa has one chart according to WP:GOODCHARTS, and it's compiled by Entertainment Monitoring Africa. Their site is undergoing maintenance, and Archive.org links don't work either. If I were to close this AfD now, I would close it as 'keep until the chart is live again'.-- Laun  chba  ller  23:23, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Winged Blades Godric  04:34, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Contrary to TheMagnificentist's unsupported claim The Witness (South African newspaper) is not a random website. It is South Africa's longest continuously published newspaper currently published by a major media organisation Media24. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:00, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
