Showcase Showdown (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Relisting. Last AFD closed as no consensus; only keep arguments presented were WP:ITSNOTABLE, with one person digging up a one-sentence mention in Billboard and calling it sufficient. Besides one album on a notable label, I see nothing else at all that makes the band meet WP:BAND. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 21:56, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Previous AFD closed barely a month ago, nothing has changed. After an inappropriate A7 was rejected, the prod nomination did nothing but complain about the A7 rejection, then the AFD nom was mostly complaining about the prod removal, inaccurately. Now this nomination complains about the (accurate) AFD close, not too accurately. In the absence of any effort to address the substance of the keep arguments, in particular Carrite's analysis, the community's time shouldn't be wasted by a pointless rehashing.

 * What about the lack of sources? Does that not bother you? As I pointed out, only two were found in the last AFD: one was trivial and one was primary. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 01:05, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

 * At the very recent AfD, Carrite makes some reasonable points, in my opinion. In support of that perspective, it was fairly easy for me to find an album review from that era in the music newspaper Melody Maker. Keep. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:06, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You really think one review can carry a whole article? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 03:09, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - At least basic notability has been achieved and the editor Paul Erik has spruced up the article pretty nicely. If their individual albums had articles, those articles would probably have notability problems, but the band's article can stand on its own. I also mostly agree with Hullaballoo's comments above about misused procedures during these multiple nominations. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 17:57, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
