Jake and the Burtones

In my opinion, this band does not meet the notability criteria. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:43, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Flunks WP:MUSIC.  young  american  (wtf?) 12:34, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * article is relevant and vital to spread the knowledge of underground music in the american south —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skinsfann24 (talk • contribs) 02:12, 28 August 2009 (UTC)  — Skinsfann24 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * I agree with Skinsfann24, This artical is relevant to music to show the importance of how larger bands impact the small community, also this band is not as small as you may think they are, just last spring they were on the front page of the washington Post, Loudoun section — Jamband1969 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Delete. I don't see any notability here. Drmies (talk) 02:19, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC, as noted above, and is not widely and extensively discussed in independent sources. —C.Fred (talk) 02:21, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * This page certainly does meet the notability criteria, I don't even know this band and this page is useful, I'm writing my thesis on the effect of folk music throughout Appalachia, and this article is very helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Proudmomof5 (talk • contribs) 02:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)  — Proudmomof5 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Academic advice. Don't cite Wikipedia in your thesis.  Seriously.  -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:36, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I just came across this page while doing research for a local festival in woodstock Va, are you blind! This page is great, and just look them up, there is a wide varity of independant sources citing the group. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mustangracer65 (talk • contribs) 02:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)  — Mustangracer65 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Note on sockpuppetry. Given the timing of the previous comments, it seems likely that they are all from the same person.  Just out of curiosity, I've blocked the most recent one as an obvious sockpuppet.  I wonder whether autoblock will prevent the creation of further accounts?  New user, please note that creating multiple accounts to try to create the illusion of widespread support for keeping this article- especially without specific information about how it meets Wikipedia guidelines- will reflect badly on you and actually make it more likely that the article will be deleted.  Wikipedia editors enjoy saving articles from deletion; if this band truly is notable, you can sit back and trust them- if there are sources to be found that show notability, they will find them.  Unless, of course, a flood of sockpuppets makes them assume that the band is non-notable, leading them to not search quite as hard. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 02:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, none of them actually provide any proof of the claimed notability. Dear new contributors: when the opinions expressed in this AfD are evaluated, the complete lack of evidence will weigh against your opinion. Drmies (talk) 02:38, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
