Lincoln (band)

Tagged for speedy deletion as WP:CSD (no assertion of notability); in my view, the membership of notable musicians in the band constitutes an assertion of notability. I have no opinion on the larger question of whether the article meets the notability guideline; thus I am bringing it here as a courtesy for further discussion. Neutral nomination.

 * Comment: The article claims only 1 album was created called Lincoln, however, the Lincoln_(album) was created by band They_Might_Be_Giants which included the 2 notable artists in that article. I can't believe they would make the same album in both bands so I question the accuracy of the article.--TParis00ap (talk) 01:07, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's the same album; it just has the same title. At least, the allmusic.com listing has a completely different tracklist from the well-known TMBG album. Chick Bowen 01:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I clarified that with this edit. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 20:15, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Positive that TMBG and Lincoln are two bands. TMBG album is from 1988, Lincoln (band) album is from 1997, both can be found on allmusic or stores like Amazon. (User:wniehues (talk) 10:45, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

 * The Patriot Ledger, Entertainment Weekly, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel all have written about this band non-trivially. I've added those citations just now. There's enough for the subject to meet the general notability guideline, or WP:BAND criterion #1. Keep. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 19:39, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
