Red Roots
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A big promotional love fest for this band. Has a huge list of award nominations but none are major awards. Has some blog coverage and some passing mentions but lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. (previous afd was about an unrelated band). duffbeerforme (talk) 14:06, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete If the author's only claim to notability for the group is that they are the 2011 Mississippi Gospel Convention Association's Mississippi's Trio of the Year then I don't see how this even remotely meets WP:ARTIST. No charting, no major backing label, no major media coverage, nothing. § FreeRangeFrog 17:44, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. I edited down the majority of the promotional speak, meaning that the article size is pretty much a third of what it previously was. I've removed a lot of the primary sources and otherwise non-RS links, but it does look like they've gotten a lot of local coverage from one newspaper. Of course that can be debated as to whether or not that is enough to pass WP:BAND.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 12:43, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete for failing WP:MUSIC. Actually, it should be speedied as the recreation of a previously deleted article.  Qworty (talk) 03:13, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
