Eyeshine (band)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

this band does not appear to satisfy wp:music. awards are not major. having a notable actor as part of the band does not make them notable. the article has a lot of references but none are significant coverage in independent reliable sources. convention announcements are not independent. kroq ref is just them talking about themselves. facebook and twitter are not reliable. Boston Bastard Brigade shows no sign of being reliable. AMP Magazine shows no sign of being reliable and the coverage is trivial. I only found passing mentions, nothing significant. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:28, 22 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge: Merge to Johnny Yong Bosch opposed to deletion. A good amount of the band's information could be summarized on Bosch's page as it already is. FallenWings47 (talk) 11:36, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Eyeshine should have it's name in history for future musicians as inspiration to not give up when others are trying to discourage or intimidate them. In my opinion I had the honor to speak with them. My whole perspective on job, intern, and career searching changed. When you are rejected take all the disapointments, discouragments and transform it into motivation for fuel to keep you going and you can eventually succeed. It just matters how far you are willing to go. I am still on my road of discouragments but I am looking for a detour. And that knowledge is what I gained from talking to each of the band members. It's not about being popular, But connecting with people, and talking to the fans. Please Wikipedia don't make the mistake of erasing this unique part of history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattvp13 (talk • contribs) 05:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC) — Mattvp13 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * COMMENT If you're really interested in saving this Wikipedia page, the best thing you can do for it is finding articles ABOUT Eyeshine and adding the CITED information to the page to make it more credible. I myself made most of the page as you see it now and I made it that way by adding information from articles I had read about them. FallenWings47 (talk) 12:10, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - deeply non-notable band; should have been deleted the last time. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  19:11, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Matt is totally correct, the band has come a long way, it has churned out several albums and has worked equally as hard as multiple other bands out there. You say they are non-notable? What about Drive-By Argument? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive-by_Argument) Yes, they played T in The Park: once. What makes them notable? Their page shouldn't have a place here if Eyeshine doesn't. Also, I don't have anything against Drive-By Argument, just an example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.25.48 (talk) 00:12, 3 November 2011 (UTC) — 92.22.25.48 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Sorry, but Article X's presence or absence can't be used to justify Article Y. Just because we have a noncompliant page doesn't mean it's okay to make noncompliant pages; it just means administrators (of whom there are proportionately very few) haven't gotten around to deleting it yet. — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 19:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - EYESHINE has either made the finals or won several independent band competitions http://www.ampmagazine.com/10956/amp-unsigned-band-contest-part-iv/ http://www.987fm.com/pages/rockstar09/page-rockstar09vidsnew3.php. They have a devoted local following, have performed all over the country and even done some shows internationally. EYESHINE is poised to follow other local area bands that recently shot to stardom with their edgy sound.  Yes, Johnny Yong Bosch, band co-founder and lead singer has a prominent career as a voice and on-camera actor, but this is separate from EYESHINE the band.  Merging the two pages doesn't make sense. Other than Bosch himself, there is no overlap or common thread between these two entities. Moreover, EYESHINE IS a notable enough indy band to warrant its own article. They have six albums on iTunes and a behind-the-scenes web series, The EYESHINE Experience  garnering thousands of views.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by TweetLvr (talk • contribs) 00:20, 3 November 2011 (UTC)  — TweetLvr (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Hits on YouTube do not correlate to notability, and nor do name-drops. — Jeremy v^_^v Components:V S M 19:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - unremarkable band. Little significant coverage, minor awards of questionable notability (and mostly nominations only, at that). MikeWazowski (talk) 13:07, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
