Does meet the guidelines in WP:BAND and WP:GNG. I have gathered evident that Rodeo Ruby Love is a notable band. They have "been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." as it says in WP:MUSIC. Here are the articles I found, and am willing to find more if necessary.

Also they have "released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)", as it says in WP:MUSIC Here is their label, an Independent Record Label formed in 2007 with several notable performers signed on. They have released 3 albums on this label. Also I'm new here, I'm sorry if my layout or process was wrong. Here is a list of the notable performers.

Also, just added a news coverage section on the Rodeo Ruby Love page to help with credibility issues. Nslvr (talk) 16:37, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. Here are a couple reviews: Punknews.org and NUVO, a local alt weekly .  Gong   show  18:12, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Additional refs listed are not WP:RS as blogs or user edited sites.   GregJackP   Boomer!   01:21, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Even if the refs are not WP:RS it is still notable. in WP:BAND it says "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, instrumentalist, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria:" and Rodeo Ruby Love does meet one of the criteria. It has "released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)" which I stated evidence for above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nslvr (talk • contribs) 04:59, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Also, both Obscure Sound, Punknews.org and NUVO's articles and reviews are not user edited, neither are they blogs, so it fits that notability requirement too. Nslvr (talk) 05:05, 15 August 2013 (UTC)- corrected my grammer error Nslvr (talk) 16:44, 15 August 2013 (UTC) 
 * Comment. User edited sources are not reliable.  That's why IMDb and Wiki are not considered reliable sources.  You need to find a reliable source that provides the information.  What you've shown so far is not acceptable.   GregJackP   Boomer!   13:31, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've found two pieces of coverage in major newspapers: An writeup about the band (partly paywalled, but apparently substantial) in the Indianapolis Star  and a piece in South Florida's Sun-Sentinel .  These are evidence of notability. More like these would be helpful to make a stronger case. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:01, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak keep as narrowly passing WP:GNG per the sources provided in the Indianapolis Star, NUVO, Sun-Sentinel, and (I think) Obscure Sound. (Am not sure about the RS status of the Punknews.org review.) The great band name doesn't hurt.  --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:36, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep as well. Thanks to the articles found by Arxiloxos, I think there's enough material on the band to support an article. Staff reviews at Punknews.org are considered acceptable here at the Albums Wikiproject, but if that's not the case, that still leaves multiple reliable sources.
