Kris Barras Band

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Doesn't appear to pass notability per what's on the page and the only additional coverage I found that I'm at least somewhat confident in is this interview with Louder Sound (or Classic Rock or whatever it's called). Might be worth a redirect to either Mascot Label Group or Provogue Records but I wouldn't complain about a straight delete.

 * Keep. Charting album passes notability. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:46, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That would help constitute (but not guarantee) notability for an album, but notability isn't inherited between releases and the artists. And besides, there's not enough coverage of any of the albums either so we can't guarantee their notability anyway. QuietHere (talk) 08:44, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Maybe QuietHere you should read what the relevant notability guidelines actually say before nominating something for deletion. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You mean like WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:NBAND, or WP:NALBUM? The ones I was citing in my previous response to you? Because I've read them both before and I'm reading them again and they still say the same thing they did when I posted that the other day. QuietHere (talk) 23:59, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
 * WP:BAND #2 "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." duffbeerforme (talk) 00:09, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * But let us not forget the part above that which says a band "may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria." Just having a couple albums charting does not guarantee notability for a band, and they don't meet any of the other points so far as I can tell, especially not on coverage.

 * duffbeerforme (talk) 02:08, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That is coverage for the album and would be useful for making an article about the band, but that still doesn't make the band notable. Again, WP:NOTINHERITED. QuietHere (talk) 12:04, 13 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Keep Seems notable. Two top 50 Albums. Clicking the WP Library link at the top of this page I find a number of articles in Record Collector, Classic Rock and Guitarist magazines and a number of newspaper articles Piecesofuk (talk) 14:11, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes WP:SIGCOV and criteria 2 of WP:NBAND per the evidence supplied by Duffbeerforme. Reviews of recordings made by the band in independent RS does constitute as significant coverage of the band itself. Attempting to separate critical reviews of the band's recordings from RS of the band seems overly pedantic. The band did write, play, and record the music on the album. It's splitting hairs to make that argument and is essentially WP:wikilawyering.4meter4 (talk) 22:26, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
