Racebannon

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

Was tagged for db-band and a hangon was placed, because they had two albums on a borderline notable label. However, I'm finding no sources whatsoever for this band, not to mention the WP:COI and overly promotional tone.

 * Delete - absolutely no assertion of notability, no sources, and reads like a promo piece. -- JediLofty UserTalk 15:50, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete promotional tone, seems like an attempt to use WP to publish a puff piece. JuJube (talk) 15:59, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Here is some websites that have press pieces/reviews on Racebannon. They're a very popular cult band and I don't see why they wouldn't feature on Wikipedia.
 * CD Universe is not a reliable soures. Interviews are okay but only if other sources are present. The only other sources I see are very independent reviews on personal websites and/or MP3 download sites, which are not reliable.

 * Isn't "very popular cult band" press release-ese for "not a popular band"? ^.^ JuJube (talk) 18:27, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
