Shotei Hanevuah
Advertising, non-notability of the group in question ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 23:03, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Not in allmusic, but this is a an Israeli group, not American.  I did get 436 hits on Google, about two-thirds of which seemed to be for ring-tones. They have played at the Univ. of Maryland, Brandeis , Harvard , and Stanford , that I found. That looks like a national tour in a large country.  This blog  says that they have been voted the best band in Israel (that would need to be confirmed).  They also have a couple of albums  and . The albums are published by Helicon.  Unfortunately, I can't read Hebrew, so I can't say how big Helicon is. The article can use some work. - Dalbury (talk) 03:26, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment They have published at least one album, and I suppose they're as notable as anyone else in wikipedia. The main problem for me is that the page is currently a cut and paste job of . (The website is down right now, google cache is here. --Bachrach44 03:42, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - Dalbury and Bachrach44 convinced me that the article is not deletable as NN, but the copyright problems noted by Bachrach, together with the problems I foresee in NPOVing this, makes me vote delete nevertheless. - Andre Engels 08:36, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I completely replaced the original text with what I think is a neutral POV stub. I hope that addresses any remaining concerns with the article. - Dalbury (talk) 11:14, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep After seeing the rewrite by Dalbury, I'm going to go with a definite keep. There are no copy-vio issues anymore, and the article is NPOV.--Bachrach44 15:57, 11 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - fairly well-known in Israel.--Doron 07:22, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep seems somewhat notable, but I am troubled by the statement that "It has been selected as Israel's "Band of the Year"." Who selected them as band of the year?  What year?  --Rogerd 15:25, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment That's been hard to dig out. There is the statement on the poster at the bottom of, here and here. I did see somewhere that the award was part of the Israeli Academy Awards, but I know nothing about that. This site has a statement that Shotei Hanevuah's records have gone "platinum" (whatever that standard is in Israel). I'm hoping that someone who knows Hebrew can fill in some holes.  In any case, two albums and a tour of the U.S. should be enough to meet WP:MUSIC. - Dalbury (talk) 16:00, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree they are notable, but I just wanted to fill in the blanks. Oh, well. --Rogerd 21:22, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
