Satellite (US band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Delete due to lack of notability. CSD removed by an editor claiming the band indicates notability based on a "specific association with Mitch Allan". While Allan is notable, WP:BAND only supports notability when a band "contains two or more independently notable musicians". This a new band, released debut EP July 2010 and performed together for the first time in August 2010. I do not see where the band meets any criteria of WP:BAND. Additionally, the subject lacks significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Thank you. Cindamuse (talk) 21:21, 30 September 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment. The band contains members of other notable bands. Whether or not this is sufficient to pass WP:MUSIC, it makes it a non-starter as far as speedy deletion is concerned. Given that Allan's notability does not appear to be in doubt (despite the lack of sourcing), why would we want to delete this rather than at least merge it to the Mitch Allan article? --Michig (talk) 20:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Merge to Mitch Allan seems to be the smart choice, with no prejudice against splitting it back out when and if they do anything notable. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:43, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
