The result was Keep. Article was turned into a redirect to a pre-existing article which now offers sufficient sourcing. Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:30, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Peter and the wolf (band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Self-released band. Article created by single-purpose account. Album has indeed been reviewed on Pitchfork, but their other 3 references are to the band's own pages (including, you guessed it, a Myspace page). Probably fails WP:N, probably even fails WP:BAND.

 * Delete. Non-notable band on non-notable label. Lacks verification or reliable sources. JodyBRoll, Tide, Roll 01:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep - The band has been on multiple national tours and has plenty of media coverage. Check the left side of the MySpace page under 'recent press' - some of those are trivial coverage, but many are substantial - here, here, and here for example. Torc2 20:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I tried to move this to fix the capitalization, but there was a duplicate article already at Peter and the Wolf (band), which wasn't listed as AfD. I replaced the text of this article (Peter and the wolf (band) - the one in this AfD) and added a redirect to the correct link.  If you still want to do the AfD, go ahead and the other article.  Thanks Torc2 20:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * argh - you've just confused the crap out of me. Now I'm AfDing a redirect? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Needs rewritten, but definitely a keeper - I find a bunch of other refs for the band   in a few different places, and on NPR; a Pitchfork ref refers to a country-wide tour. I think it's covered by WP:MUSIC, though as usual I'd be more comfortable with albums from notable labels. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * comment - There certainly is no label notability, and a number of those sources seem like internet entertainment sites that you'd expect any band to apply to for tour support promo. BUT, since they have had a couple small features on ABC and NPR's websites, if somebody wants to suggest that those 2 are sufficient and volunteer to clean up the article using those sources, I'll happily apologize and withdraw my nom.

 * also - I have added the sources brought up in this AfD to the "external links" section of the article, and tagged it with "cleanup". AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 00:12, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * withdraw by nom - I doubt anyone will ever volunteer to clean up the article, but at least it's got some semi-decent sources that some could argue prove notability... the edit to a redirect also messes things up for the AfD. Withdraw, and sorry for the waste of time. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 18:22, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
