Los Dynamite

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Band not notable per WP:BAND. Not the subject of multiple non-trivial sources; mention in NYT not significant; sole album did not make a chart. Lionelt (talk) 10:53, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. --MidnightDesert (talk) 11:06, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't know anything about La Cronica De Hoy, but if it is a reliable source then the two articles from it certainly qualify as significant coverage.--Cúchullain t/ c 13:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree that the answer depends on whether or not La Cronica is an RS, but the Spanish version (edit:of Los Dynamite) has been deleted es:Wikipedia:Consultas de borrado/Los Dynamite Polarpanda (talk) 14:21, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Well, if La Cronica was deleted, what more needs to be said about it's reliability? Lionelt (talk) 16:34, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry I meant the Spanish version of Los Dynamite, not the Spanish version of La Cronica De Hoy, which never seems to have existed. Polarpanda (talk) 17:35, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh! The link did point to Los Dynamite, didn't it. I wonder if we could get any of the Spanish WP editors to participate here. Lionelt (talk) 18:10, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I just put a "Please see" on the talk pages of 3 editors at Spanish WP. That's cool! The trick is to use :en:. Interestingly I was denied edit access to 3 talk pages. I don't speak Spanish, but the message said something about permissionorriooo or some such. I hope those edits count here on :en: - I'm trying to get to my 1000th edit.

 * Keep three paragraphs in The New York Times, 13 May 2007, "Mexico City's Indie Rock, Now Playing To the World" by Josh Kun and many Spanish language sources such as; El Norte, 25 August 2008, "Sacan la vuelta a sonido étnico" by Fabián Riquejo; Agencia Mexicana de Noticias, NOTIMEX (The Notimex Newswire Service carries the major political and economic news stories from Mexico. Country of origin: Mexico), 22 March 2008, "Hacen vibrar Los Dynamite con su música al público de la Cumbre Tajín." by Manuel Bello Hernandez; Agencia Mexicana de Noticias, NOTIMEX, 21 September 2007, "Se unirán Porter, Los Dynamite y Le Barón en una velada rockera"; Agencia Mexicana de Noticias, NOTIMEX, 24 April 2007, "Prepara el grupo Los Dynamite nuevo material discográfico"; Agencia Mexicana de Noticias, NOTIMEX, 22 August 2006, "Rompen Los Dynamite el viejo tabú de hacer "Rock en tu idioma".* La banda..." by Juan Carlos Castellanos C.; Reforma, 17 June 2006, "Trae Dynamite 'Grandes Éxitos' en su debut" by Juan Carlos García; Reforma, 7 July 2006, "Hacen explosión" by Luis Felipe Castañeda duffbeerforme (talk)
 * Only 2 of the 3 paragraphs are about the band. The third is about Mexico's new wave of indie musicians of which Los Dynamite is one. Their only album is available ONLY via Myspace and local shops in Mexico City. Are the Spanish sources mainstream? I do not think they would pass muster at RS/N, especially since the Spanish version of this article was deleted on that wiki. Keeping this article sets the bar for inclusion of bands very low.

 * Keep. La Cronica De Hoy is apparently a major paper in Mexico City; I found a note in Americas Review indicating it is one of the "most influential" Spanish-language dailies in the region. As such the two articles from it, supported by the New York Times reference, are enough to establish notability. On top of this the album was released by Noiselab, described by The New York Times as "Mexico City's top indie label". I think it's just the English Wikipedia's systemic bias against non-English sources and topics that makes this appear less notable.--Cúchullain t/ c 13:35, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The Spanish Wikipedia article was deleted in April 2007, before two of the three sources cited here were written.--Cúchullain t/ c 13:35, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
