Porter (band)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable band. Clearly they have a following, as indicated by the number of editors who have had a hand in this article, but they really don't meet notability requirements. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:30, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

 * A quick visit to the article on the Spanish Wikipedia was all it took to find one relevant newspaper source, and with some more searching it becomes apparent that this band has had coverage in many major Mexican newspapers. I've added a few sources just now. Keep, since the subject meets WP:BAND criterion #1, or the general notability guideline. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 17:07, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as those many editors, including Paul Erik, have demonstrated that the group passes WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 18:00, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep: per Paul Erik. Joe Chill (talk) 00:23, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. As Paul Erik points out, Spanish language sources establish the notability of the band. There's no reason to discriminate between something notable in Hispanic countries and the USA.--Pink Bull (talk) 00:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep sufficient WP:RS to pass WP:BAND  Chzz  ►  01:18, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
