False Alarm (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Created by a WP:SPA and promoted bya legion of block-evading IPs, leading to a rangeblock. No reliable independent sources to show this meets WP:BAND, never charted, all claims to notability are purely by association. Basically a directory entry created by someone associated with the band or (best case) their biggest fan. Guy (Help!) 09:55, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment. I found a couple of reviews of False Alarm albums, one from 2013 in Big Wheel magazine and the other from Sugar Buzz magazine published I think in 2008. All the other references I saw were brief mentions of the band in relation to the early history of either Fat Mike of NOFX or Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys.

 * Weak keep. For an anti-establishment punk band, they've gotten some ink/pixels over the years. I added 's two reviews, for which thanks, and a couple of things I found myself, one of which is a primary source but sorted out the history a bit, and the others are independent reviews. I did find one ringer: there appears to have been a London punk band of the same name. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:44, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep. With Yngvadottir's expansion and refs, I think we are in comfortable territory keeping this article. It's useful to the occasional reader, and not promotional or false. Binksternet (talk) 18:31, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep as additional reliable sources have been added as detailed above, passes WP:GNG altough needs watching to stop any promo additions Atlantic306 (talk) 17:27, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
