Finlay (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This indie rock band from London appears to fail WP:N. This topic passes point #5 of WP:BAND, having released albums on at least two notable independent record labels (Fortuna Pop!, Truck Records), but this alone may not be enough to qualify topic notability due to a lack of independent reliable sources about the band. Per WP:BAND, a topic "may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria", but this does not guarantee notability. Sources in the article do not appear to meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources (LastFM, which has a conflict of interest in selling their tracks and albums, Myspace and Indieworkshop). Several searches in GNews archives and GBooks have not yielded coverage in reliable sources. Northamerica1000(talk) 21:39, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
