Morbo (band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable band. They do have one major label release, but their only other album is on an apparently tiny indie label (I could find no references online). The only reference in the article is a short blurb from Rolling Stone Mexico Online about the release of their second album. Fails WP:BAND. Precious Roy 21:04, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages because, per WP:MUSIC, if the band is non-notable, the albums are too. Neither album was a hit and neither article has any valid references from reliable sources.:


 * Keep, Juan Carlos Lozano (member of Morbo) was a member of Mœnia, which passed WP:BAND and therefore causes Morbo to pass per WP:BAND #6. Also according to someone's review from Morbo's Amazon page they have a single on MTV, wouldn't that pass WP:BAND #11? or does MTV not count because it isn't radio. (the amazon source itself might not be reliable) Na uf ana  :  talk  21:46, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The Mœnia connection wasn't part of the article when I nominated it; since he was only in the band for their first album, I don't know if that would automatically qualify all of his subsequent projects as notable. If Morbo had a video in rotation on MTV, that would definitely pass notability (and knowing how MTV works, if they got in rotation, I would think the single would have also charted; also notable). As I mentioned above, the article only had one borderline trivial/non-trivial reference. If they are notable, surely someone could dig up "multiple non-trivial" verifiable references from reliable sources. Precious Roy 22:17, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment, To be clear once I found out about the Mœnia connection I added it to the Morbo article. And just because they were on MTV doesn't mean they were on MTV. I mean there is MTV2, MTV rap, MTV latino (the likey place they were aired in my opinion). I still think the Mœnia connection deserves a keep. Na uf ana  :  talk  23:24, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak keep per User:Naufana, one of the members was in another notable band, good enough for WP:MUSIC criterion #6. Ten Pound Hammer  • (((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps))) 23:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep as per above. While a story in Rolling Stone (even in Spanish) or Spin does not guarantee notability, it helps.  It needs more sources in Englishm though. Bearian 20:55, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep passes WP:MUSIC. Needs more sources, though they certainly don't have to be in English. Chubbles 04:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per WP:MUSIC criterion 6, as it has been stated already. And they do have a major label album.  --Nehwyn 07:25, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
