Government Cheese

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

No indication of WP:notability. Only sources are primary. Has existed over two years without anything substantial. Google searches do not reveal anything. noq (talk) 18:46, 7 June 2012 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:


 * Delete. Doesn't appear to me to meet WP:BAND in any of the 12 criteria listed.  The book about the band was (i) written by a member of the group and (ii) indicates in the sub-title that the reader has never heard of the band.  (It's strange that a band could possibly be notable for not being notable, but it had to be considered.)  There are no other non-trivial published sources I found, AFAIK, and hence it doesn't seem to me to meet #1.  I don't see that the band's label meets criterion #5, the band's members don't seem to meet #6, and nothing else seems to apply.  Ubelowme (talk) 19:00, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: if this is found to be non-notable, it would be a good idea to create a redirect to Government cheese in its space. Mark Arsten (talk) 19:07, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete both of them. I found a few local news sources, but not really the level of coverage that we need to write an encyclopaedia article. — Mr. Stradivarius  (have a chat) 07:40, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I actually did hear of them, but I'm not sure how much touring they did. Bearian (talk) 22:40, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I've seen Tommy play at shows in Louisville in the last few years, so it seems to be a question of how active he is. I'd like to ask for a stay of execution for both articles until the end of the month. He's busier than a lot of the C-list actors that have articles on WP, if that carries any ice.

 * A very merry weak keep - I have found some evidence of touring - they played in New York, New Mexico, in Kentucky for their reunion, but I can't find very reliable sources. I also note that they could have played SXSW but didn't. Now, as of 1999 they had lots of Ghits. Is that proof of notability?  Maybe. Bearian (talk) 21:39, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment The only potential thing for supporting notability there is the dailynews link but even that I don't think passes muster. Myspace and straightdope are not reliable sources, and the coyotecommunications link about sxsw is a very dodgy claim - a band member saying we didn't because of a dodgy manager? noq (talk) 00:11, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
