Gone Rogue (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet the WP:NMUSIC notability guidelines for a band. My pre-AfD searching yields no significant coverage from a reliable source besides a music review at, which isn't reliable. Utopes (talk) 04:01, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

 * A significant number of sources have been found and cited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apvktx (talk • contribs)
 * Delete. There does not appear to be enough to meet WP:GNG or any other notability guideline. Facebook and event listings do not count as WP:RS. Also, there appears to be obvious undisclosed conflict of interest, as the article's creator Apvktx is presumably the Andy VK mentioned in the article as one of the band's members. -- Kinu t/c 19:45, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete as per all comments above. Hughesdarren (talk) 21:21, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep Social media posts by businesses are not excluded as WP:RS, nor are documented events. There is no issue with a band updating or creating their own article, and sources other than social media have been listed. A quick search of the band from Houston shows plenty of activity, more than enough to warrant WP:GNG validity.

 * While I am assuming good faith, it is intriguing that a newly-created account happened to find this article and discussion, and also claims to be well-versed in Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Someone editing an article about their own band clearly contravenes the conflict of interest guideline, so your assertion that there is "no issue" is patently false. Also, please indicate which of the provided sources you feel are reliable sources and/or provide additional sources that are to show how WP:GNG is met. -- Kinu t/c 04:33, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 * First and foremost: per AfD guidelines please keep all conversation on the article, not the editors. Second, WP:COI says it CAN create a conflict of interest if there is any relationship between the editor and the subject of the article, not that it inherently DOES. Third, of the 8 references cited, only two are social media, neither of them are personal pages (therefore not excluded as WP:RS). The majority of the sources are not directly related to the band but present factual data of the band’s activities. Although I’m not familiar with the first website listed in the references section, it appears to be completely independent of both the band and any production agency the band has worked with. The third reference appears to display the band’s recorded work, which is a measure toward WP:NMUSIC notability, however it’s a very subjective view. There is no rubric by which to measure, so I can simply say that what looks like three studio releases and one live release are notable enough to me.

 * Delete. Fails WP:SIGCOV, WP:NMUSIC, and per WP:TOOSOON. The band is not even a year old (can't prove sustainable coverage), has no notable recordings (where are the reviews?), and not much coverage overall.4meter4 (talk) 03:30, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
