Pronghorn (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not pass WP:Band. The given references show that this is a small local band that sells its music through its own Myspace page. I can find no independent sources that show this band has ever charted or gained any kind of notability outside of its own home geographical location. Prod was contested with the comment “found in both bbc and telegraph as well as others, have also performed in Holland more than once - thus not 100% local”, however the references amount to nothing more than listing that the band will be performing at a local festival, which does not qualify as significant coverage.

 * Delete per nom, doesn't meet WP:BAND notabillity criteria. Citations are just lists of performance dates which are explicitly excluded from that criteria (BBC ref is dead)--ThePaintedOne (talk) 18:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The fact that the BBC link has died, is no refection of the band. If we deleted every article because the links died then there would be a lot of deletions. Although they may play mainly local, they have played at several festivals in the Netherlands, and they often play at the Glastonbury Festival (which is no small event). They also play a key role in organising another large festival - unfortunately that's seems to be unusual for a band, so there's no useful criteria one can hang that aspect on to.

 * The fact the BBC link is dead is relevent because it was quoted when the prod was taken out. All you say could be true, but just playing at festivals is not in and of itself notable per WP:BAND and none of the citations present demonstrate notabillty.--ThePaintedOne (talk) 20:40, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Insufficient coverage to either establish notability or have sufficient verifiable content to justify an article.--Michig (talk) 17:32, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
