Garibaldi (group)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article is ont and never has been sourced, and the linked articles on members are also largely unsourced. Many of the edits are directly traceable to the group itself. The only claim of notability is by inheritance, which as we know is invalid as notability is not inherited. It's been around for a while, probably because it's not been noticed, so AfD is more appropriate than simply nuking it as A7, but A7 does formally apply as the article content has no assertion of notability and even the implied notability by inheritance lacks any sources.

 * Weak delete One would assume that with so many bluelink former members they might be notable, but nothing in the article actually claims they are. Delete unless someone wants to try cleaning it up. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  21:25, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Probably keep This seems to be a band that released some albums and also ran into some criticism. If documented that seems like it would be notable enough. The language difference is probably part of the problem. Jaque Hammer (talk) 22:04, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep I've found some sources and added them to the article. I'll look for more later. But, regardless of the sourcing, it is quite clear that this band falls under #6 of WP:BAND, as it has multiple members that went on to become professional and notable.

 * Well, as long as that notability is not indicated by their having articles also created by COI editors (which does seem to be the case here, according to the person recently blocked for spamming his website). Guy (Help!) 07:10, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Regardless of COI issues, the people themselves are clearly notable, from just a simple google news search. Silver  seren C 15:28, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The people? Maybe. This is about the group, created by their PR. Guy (Help!) 13:13, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Look at the first two references in the article. Silver  seren C 14:30, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
