Saving Aimee (band)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article is completely unreferenced and band is not notable. Prod was simply removed saying that because it toured with a notable band this one is too. There are no given refs and that reason obviously doesn't give automatic notability. Does not satisfy any notability guidelines. Zero pages link to it. Reywas92 Talk 18:14, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A quick search shows that not only have they toured with other notable acts, but they are currently touring nationally themselves as headliners. They also performed as part of the Kerrang! awards shows this year. They pass WP:MUSIC on the basis of their touring. Lack of references is not a valid reason for deletion - tagging the article as requiring references would be a proactive step (I've now done this). No pages linking to the article is also irrelevant. It's a stub created 11 days ago - it's not going to have a lot linking to it yet.--Michig 20:44, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Quick Google search reveals several notable efforts by this band. -- DP 67  (talk/contribs) 20:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * DeleteClaims of UK tours are not referenced from "report[s] in reliable sources" and until they are, the band fails WP:BAND. Precious Roy 22:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Are the dozens of online ticket sales companies (e.g ) currently selling tickets for their tour not considered reliable? What about a review of one of their gigs supporting McFly in the Eastbourne Herald (yes, I know it was written by a 13-year old, but it was a McFly gig. The source (newspaper) is reliable)? The BBC mention their tour here. --Michig 22:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The NME should be considered a reliable source, I would have thought.--Michig 23:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * References which were not included in the article. Changing vote to weak keep. Precious Roy 10:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
