Ruin/Renewal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I just analysed this band in Mfd The evidence points to a band that created an EP in June 2011 in a private studio, got a little explicitly local radio play in Dec 2011 and played a few clubs and a grocery store in NYC and Boston, before breaking up before May 2012 when the next release was due.

The article is quite misleading according to the bands own old label page. They did not exist from 2003-2012 but rather from late 2011 to maybe May 2012. Prior to 2011 they recorded nothing and did no shows. The label is not notable - the Burst and Bloom page is something else entirely. A blog mention and hosting on a music streaming site does not contribute to notability. "archival recordings" is a fancy way of saying stuff they recorded earlier. "performances throughout the eastern United States" is actually "Ruin/Renewal has performed throughout Boston area, including such venues as TT the Bear’s Place and the Worcester Palladium. The band has also performed at numerous venues in New York, including Arlene’s Grocery, Lit Lounge, and the Trash Bar. In 2011, they performed as part of the O+ Festival in Kingston, New York." according to the label.

Basically this has been masterfully written to give the illusion of notability but the topic is not notable. Legacypac (talk) 07:58, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
