One Direction (American band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This band has received very recent coverage for them suing a more famous British band of the same name. Other than that I could not find any more independent coverage. I'm not sure if WP:ONEEVENT applies to bands, but if it does then I don't see how a band can be notable for suing another band. If someone finds coverage other than the lawsuits I will withdraw, but as I hit almost 30 pages on Google and found almost nothing aside from the lawsuits, it will probably be a little unlikely to find anything else. I know that Google is not necessarily an indicator of notability, but that was really all that I could find. I hope the band enjoys their 15 minutes of fame though.

 * Strong delete - I'd say this was a clear case of WP:BLP1E, except that the article as it currently stands doesn't even seem to mention that event. Absolutely no indication of notability whatsoever, should probably have been a speedy. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ talk 10:51, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - as above really. No claim to fame other than sharing a name with another, more famous, band. GiantSnowman 18:33, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
