Rosaline (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable band. One download-only album on a notable label; perhaps tellingly, their subsequent album is on will be on a different (and non-notable) label. Very little media coverage of substance. Fails WP:BAND. TheJazzDalek (talk) 01:15, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

 * The "non-notable" new label is what is considered the new Ferret Records; a label which sold millions of records and housed some of the largest hardcore bands in the world. This new label is owned by the same owners that started Ferret, is distributed by SONY, and has a roster complete with other well known artists in the industry.  Furthermore, the label will be pressing physical albums of this artist's next record which will be distributed and sold everywhere in stores nationally through Sony Red Distribution, and overseas via Metal Blade Distribution.  Once this new album is released, their media coverage will increase exponentially.


 * @TheJazzDalek you don't know much about the music industry, or at least must not keep up with it if you think this band's former label is something of more importance than their new one. You probably shouldn't be commenting on things you have little knowledge of.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.136.3.41 (talk) 03:49, 19 February 2010 (UTC)  — 24.136.3.41 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * "Will be", huh? Well maybe once this new album is released (is there a release date from a reliable source?) and the media coverage "increases exponentially" (although 05 is still 0) your group will meet WP:BAND. And you think Eulogy Recordings is less important than a new startup that hasn't put out a single release yet? Talk about delusional (or just wishful thinking).

 * Pretty ridiculous that someone is trying to delete this page. Rosaline is more "notable" even in the completely arbitrary way this website measures it, than 99.9% of other musical acts.  Fans view this page as a resource to learn more about Rosaline, and deleting this page defeats the whole purpose of this website.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.93.20 (talk) 20:30, 20 February 2010 (UTC) — 67.163.93.20 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Delete lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Zero Google News hits on "Rosaline punk" or "Rosaline Chicago".  First Google web hit is the bands MySpace page which is a very bad sign for notability.  Remaining hits are from blogs and other sources of questionable reliability.  Might be notable one day but that day doesnt appear to be here yet. RadioFan (talk) 16:39, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
 * the 4th result on a google search of "Rosaline Chicago" is a press release on absolutepunk.net about Rosaline's signing to Eulogy Records. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.163.93.20 (talk) 17:39, 21 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Press releases are not considered reliable sources, because they're not independent of the subject. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 18:48, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
