La Excelencia

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

NN band. One album, tone is spammish. Repeatedly recreated after A7 and G11 speedy deletions, so I thought a debate this time would be best. Mango juice talk 05:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete There are no non-trivial references here so this fails WP:N, there is no indication that this qualifies under any of the WP:MUSIC criteria, and this would also fail any reasonable interpretation of WP:NPOV. I would also like to bring up a WP:COI issue, as it turns out that the independent record label that signed this band, Handle With Care Productions Inc., was founded by two of the members, Julian Silva and Jose Vazquez-Cofresi, with this group as it only signed act. This fact makes a good case for WP:SPAM. In addition, every one of the group's members and their label have pages of their own on wikipedia, so I might suggest adding them all to this nom.

 * I'd rather not include them. It would really help in those cases to clarify if the band is notable first.  Mango juice talk 13:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. I'd disagree that there are no non-trivial sources; that abstract suggest substantial reference. But it doesn't seem widespread, and there's no substantiation that they otherwise meet WP:MUSIC. (I can't find sources to support that international tour.) That said, they & their initial CD seems well received (sources with editorial review only):, , , . If they do a follow-up release, they might find sufficient notability. (If the band is deleted, judging by the linked members, this is going to cause a cascade of follow up AfDs.) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:37, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable band; may be big someday, but someday ain't now. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  19:04, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
