Heavy Petty

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable. Doesn't meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND. No significant coverage from reliable sources, chart impact, or critical attention. Sources cited in the article only include routine coverage and passing mentions. —  Newslinger  talk   16:43, 30 July 2018 (UTC)
 * According to the description of the image in the infobox, the band has performed for "Digital Brands", which is a company that the article creator is affiliated with. The article creator has also repeatedly spammed links for that company's websites throughout Wikipedia. (See the COI noticeboard discussion and the spam blacklist archives.) The photographer's name in the picture's description (Steven H. Keys) is a close match to the article creator's username . —  Newslinger  talk   13:57, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Added WP:COI notices to Heavy Petty and Talk:Heavy Petty. —  Newslinger  talk   13:57, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Delete Sources are just routine announcements of performances. If this subject (and the two others with the same name--see lede--) have a place on wikipedia at all I would suggest redirect to the legacy section of the Tom Petty page. ShelbyMarion (talk) 19:14, 30 July 2018 (UTC)

Keep At a minimum, the NPR interview in the External Links section would seem to indicate significant coverage. Steevven1 (Talk) (Contribs) (Gallery) 15:14, 31 July 2018 (UTC) — Note to closing admin: Steevven1 (talk • contribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.


 * Note to Steevven1 (Talk). FYI, the heading in the external link you cited is misleading. WUFT-FM NPR is not NPR, rather it is a college radio station that partners with NPR for selected content. Other station content is locally produced and broadcast to the University of Florida's surrounding communities, including this 5-minute interview with the subject. Also note from the references: another local station, WJCT, which also partners with public broadcast content, is also listed. If you still want to i-vote keep--which is fine--it should be because they were interviewed by WUFT and WJCT local radio. It is not the same as being featured on NPR as one might normally consider when assessing significant coverage. ShelbyMarion (talk) 20:30, 31 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Understood, and thanks for the clarification. I would still vote to keep. Steevven1 (Talk) (Contribs) (Gallery) 13:27, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
