 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. Three relistings later, there's no consensus here, and doesn't look likely to develop one by prolonging this indefinitely. Another AFD in a couple months would be well in order, though. Courcelles 03:10, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

Korea Girl

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This topic about an indie rock band from San Jose, California appears to fail WP:GNG. Additionally, while the topic may just meet point #5 of WP:BAND (because the group released a CD and a 7" on Asian Man Records), this may not be enough to confer overall notability for this band. There's this one local source in the article, but Wikipedia articles typically require coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The other two sources in the article are dead links from what appears to be an unreliable source for Wikipedia's purposes. Northamerica1000(talk) 23:17, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep While I agree with the nominator about the sources described, I feel that this rises to the role of the second source GNG requires. I think there's some coverage here as well, but it's behind a paywall.  --j⚛e deckertalk 16:58, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete If the band was really important it would have gotten more press coverage. I don't think the mere fact that 4 or 5 people get together and release a couple of CD's should mean they need to be covered by an encyclopedia article. Kitfoxxe (talk) 01:17, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete - I can only find one more local source but it doesn't meet WP:RS. "Reunion" 7" -which is no longer available acc. to - is actually two singles, not a full album, and one of the singles (Reunion) is already included on their one and only album CD, so I don't think it meets the 5th criteria of WP:BAND.

 * Keep – In addition to the coverage identified above by j⚛e decker, there's a full article about the band in the San Francisco Chronicle which I added just now. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 01:16, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
