KOAN Sound

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:MUSICBIO. I found http://www.ukfmusic.com/news/2013/02/koan-sound-interview but no other RSes. Even the BBC use this article as their source of information. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:20, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I wrote this myself in my own wording. The BBC always use Wikipedia for their biographies, see here. Strong keep, as your argument is invalid. DJUnBalanced 10:06, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I've ensured it now meets both criteria #11 and #12 in case you still have doubts. DJUnBalanced 10:38, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Its use in a billboard for a show is not supported and by showing the link to the YouTube video: and neither 11 or 12 are met by a portion of one of their songs being used in this way. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:16, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep I'm not from the UK so I may be misinterpreting this, but it seems like they are in regular rotation on at least one BBC Radio station, satisfying criterion #11 and I see in the sources two interviews: one from Border Movement and one from Low life - are these not reliable sources. There's also the aforementioned UKF interview and another feature wherein Skrillex introduces them on MTV.com. It looks like that was also broadcast on MTV News, so those seem to satisfy #1 and #12. They have also released to albums on Inspected records, which redirects to something called "AEI Media" that looks like it might be a notable label. Overall the balance looks pretty strongly in favor of Keep to me. 0x0077BE  [talk/contrib] 18:56, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment A regular? What are you on about? First, it's not a singe station, it's a network. An so if they have a talk on some local show in one city and then a chat on another in different city it does not make them notable. They need to be plaid regularly on the network.

 * BBC Radio 1 would be a network under American terminology, as it broadcasts nationally (in the US a radio station is typically a single transmitter, but in UK usage it refers to anything broadcasting the same programming). --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:30, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

I vote to keep, this is band is internationally known and it is not like wikipedia is running out of space. 216.246.230.142 (talk) 22:09, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
