Fin (disbanded)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not sure this band meets WP:NMUSIC. Even the article appears to be candid about their notability: "Achieved mild success on the independent circuit in the UK" and "Their debut album sold poorly". As they were around in the early 1990s, it's very tough sometimes, because they could have had wide coverage in the music magazines of the time, meaning an equivalent band in 2016 would easily qualify for inclusion. However, without this sort of evidence, it's unclear whether they justify an article. It may require research and input would be welcome. KaisaL (talk) 14:26, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment: really going to struggle to find sources to keep this, I think. They certainly never had any chart success, and never made much impact even within the British indie scene: I don't recall their songs ever being played on BBC Radio 1's The Evening Session (the most likely radio outlet for their music in the early '90s), and if there is any mention of them in NME or Melody Maker I think it will likely be as passing mentions in the "introducing new bands" section of the magazines (I think in NME this was called On at the time), or as the support band in a gig review.

 * This is a really informative contribution, thanks. It reaffirms my thoughts that they don't really justify an article as a minor band that never achieved success in their time. KaisaL (talk) 15:52, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
