 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Taking this to AfD because of notability assertion via a single article in the Grammy website, which is the only thing that would separate this artist from the rest of the Facebook bands we get around here. All the other references as far as I can tell are local or otherwise not noteworthy. § FreeRangeFrog 23:28, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Subject fails WP:N and WP:GNG. Specifically, the subject fails WP:MUSICBIO and I am wary this may be a self promotion page as some of the language in the article is quite encyclopedic and reeks of self promotion. Holyfield1998 (talk) 23:42, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's nothing 'local' about The Irish Times and Hot Press - Ireland is a country, not a small town. There's more than enough coverage around to demonstrate notability: Irish Times:, , Hot Press (site appears to be down, but one of several articles from Google Cache: , State magazine: , Grammy.com: , Clash: , , , BBC Ulster's 'Across the Line' show blog: , , This Is Fake DIY: , , Prefix magazine: , Huffington Post: , SxSW Festival site: , XLR8R: , Rolling Stone: . They're not all 'significant' but there are multiple examples from the Irish Times and Hot Press that are, and those alone are enough to establish notability. --Michig (talk) 07:45, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - the sources provided by Michig would seem to allow the subject to pass WP:GNG, let alone any of the music-specific criteria. The article itself is clearly WP:PROMO and needs a major clean-up. I can understand where the nomination came from but just being badly written is not a reason for deletion.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep Hot Press is a national publication and the Irish Times happens to be the paper of record in my country. 86.44.24.94 (talk) 22:08, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
