Sika redem
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Renominating as the last AfD reached no consensus (no votes). I am somewhat reluctant to renominate this as reading WP:MUSIC makes me think it passes No. 1 of the criteria for musicians and ensembles as well as No. 5 (although Undergroove Records may not meet the requirement of major independent label and that the second album is only speculated). Despite this, almost all I could find were databases, I did find a BBC Local, Rock Sound and DiScover stuff on Google, but nothing about participating in a tour. While I believe they are promising, I don't think that they are notable enough for Wikipedia just yet. Should more sources be found, I will withdraw this AfD, but the article should have re-write, have more sources and should be expanded. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 06:54, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. I have to admire the nominator's attitude here. Being here to build an encyclopedia means writing articles, not trying to make them go away. Therefore, deleting articles should not be something that one wants to do. If more nominators had this attitude then AFD would be a more pleasant place to work and we would have fewer battleground AFDs. Article tagged for rescue--Ron Ritzman (talk) 12:46, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Borderline keep, with a major WP:NPOV rewrite needed. Criterion #5 of WP:BAND is "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." They've got one album and one EP to an indie record label (Undergroove) that sort of qualifies. That alone I'd say wasn't quite enough, but adding the reviews from Kerrang and Rocksound, the profile in NME and the airplay on Radio 1, I think it scrapes it by the narrowest of margins.

 * Delete only the album was on Undergroove (and they don't look that good a label for wp:music), the ep was on The Communion. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:05, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Fails WP:BAND. Released one full-length album over four years ago.     talk 23:22, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
