One Way State

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a band, with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no particularly strong sourcing for it. They don't pass NMUSIC #2 for charting, because the only claim here is that they charted on the local campus radio station in their own hometown, not on an IFPI-certified national pop chart. They don't pass NMUSIC #8 for having an award nomination, because the award involved is the local music scene award in their hometown, and not a national award on the level of the Junos or the Polaris. And they don't pass NMUSIC #4 for touring, because that notability test is not passed just by stating that a band toured, but by showing that they received non-trivial coverage (such as concert reviews) in reliable sources about the tour -- but the only reference for touring here is one of the blogs, and even it just states that the tour was happening without being about the tour. And even the local RS coverage that does exist doesn't build a strong case for NMUSIC #1, because it consists of two short blurbs and a Q&A in which the band is talking about themselves in response to questions like "Why should people vote for you?" and "What fictional character is your music most like (and why)?" None of this is a strong basis for notability at all. Bearcat (talk) 16:43, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Nomination outlines the problems with the sources pretty well. My google search only turned up additional coverage in a blog and trivial run-of-mill appearance announcements. Created by SPA editor--with probable promotional intent--is likely a conflict of interest. ShelbyMarion (talk) 18:18, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
