R.A.M.B.O.

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Metacomment: I previously closed this debate, but it was contested and upon reviewing the AFD I agree we need more input; therefore I have reopened and extended debate. —Quarl (talk) 2007-02-11 19:44Z 
 * Delete - Non-notable band Avi 13:07, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - this band has toured europe, the u.s., southeast asia and south america, and is very prominent in the philadelphia punk scene. http://www.jadetree.com/press/article/43/698 Sokeripupu 18:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. the provided cite is sure that the band will be famous someday, but google (searched for the album, as the band name presents obvious googling difficulties) doesn't show much evidence that they are famous now.  Remain open to better evidence of notability. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment The issue is not whether they're famous, it's whether they meet wikipedia's standards of notability for musicians. The link I provided clearly shows that they meet this one: "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country, reported in reliable sources.". My source proves that RAMBO toured Southeast Asia and South America. Mainstream commercial success is not the only way a band can be notable.Sokeripupu 19:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Please add this info to the article proper. As it cuurently reads this sounds like a profoundly non-notable band. mandel 15:56, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. It's still a pretty stubby article, but it establishes their notability by wikipedia standards now.Sokeripupu 16:51, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Article needs referenced, but meets WP:N for bands. Xiner (talk, email) 21:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable. --MaNeMeBasat 05:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets WP:N. Could also be argued that they are notable for their politics, they are all vegan and straight-edge, they "practice what they preach".
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks,


 * Keep per Sokeripupu. YechielMan 19:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fails WP:BAND and WP:NOTE. Yuser31415 21:45, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete The concert criterion of WP:BAND is disputed. Besides that, it says that that is something that makes it very likely that there is sufficient information from reliable sources about the subject, but that does not appear to be the case with this subject.

 * Comment Oh groovy, if the concert criterion is taken away, wikipedia will have firmly established that the standard mainstream distribution route (signing to a major label, getting play on mainstream radio stations, etc) is the only way for a band to become "notable". That's complete BS. In any case, even if that criterion is disputed, it's still there at the moment so no matter what anyone says or how they vote, RAMBO ARE considered notable by wikipedia standards. If that criterion goes away they won't meet the standards, but they do now. And I'm sorry, but the Philadelphia Weekly is not a reliable mainstream source? That's where the article I linked to is sourced from, I just used the link I did because it's hard to find the reference to RAMBO in the original source.Sokeripupu 01:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * keep - their cds have been released by labels based in Minneapolis and Chicago, which shows that they are not just a local band. Smmurphy(Talk) 16:37, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
