Mise (band)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article has never been improved since its creation. The band's only claim to fame is coming in second in 2002 in a competition that's not really a major music award. The sources mentioned in the previous AFD (result: no consensus) are all dead links now. Doubtful that this band still exists, and it doesn't meet WP:MUSIC in any case.

 * Delete No citations to demonstrate any notabillity. Since none have ever been added to the article despite two goes through AfD, it's a pretty safe bet they aren't going to materialise now. Was only ever a marginal candidate for WP:MUSIC anyway as they didn't win the award and it's not a major award anyway.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 19:57, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:MUSIC. No significant coverage found.--Michig (talk) 17:30, 4 February 2011 (UTC) Weak delete . Some coverage exists (see below) but it's debateable whether it is sufficient to establish notability.--Michig (talk) 10:02, 5 February 2011 (UTC) Weak Keep.--Michig (talk) 10:42, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep In addition to the two sources from the previous afd (the links may be dead but the print articles they were a copy of still exist) there is an album review in and an article . duffbeerforme (talk) 02:14, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * The Telegraph review is shared with another band and only states this about Mise: "Mise, full of the gusto that took them to the finals of last year's BBC Young Folk Awards, are more adventurous if less elegant. They include a rumbustious medley triggered by Faure's Pavane, a sprinkling of self-compositions and a guest slot for the gifted young Manchester fiddler Emma Sweeney, cousin of Liam and Noel Gallagher. There is little here to revolutionise traditional music and its offshoots, but ample to reinforce the growing reputations of both bands". The Irish Echo article is archived here and is more substantial. I couldn't find the Newham Recorder article online. If the Western Gazette article is genuinely significant coverage it might sway me towards a keep - if you could give an indication of the type/size of article it would be useful.--Michig (talk) 10:02, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
 * 281 words, ~2/3 - 3/4 about them. Who's in the band, what instruments and music they play, "Mise features five men in their 20s who have a wealth of talent and experience having performed worldwide at many of the major Celtic festivals.", an announcement of "A Celebration of Irishness" where they are the main attraction. What made me say keep last time was in part based on the fact that the Irish Echo piece is from outside Great Britain, making their coverage go beyond local. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:39, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

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


 * Keep - After reading the article, and then the first Afd result I honestly see no reason for deletion.--BabbaQ (talk) 21:37, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
