Ski Patrol (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

It's all written like an ad and I cannot find much notable coverage. Also, under 1000 results come up on Google for them -- unlikely there're many sources anyone's missing (https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Ski+Patrol%22+%22Ian+Lowery%22), DemonDays64 (talk) 03:28, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete - This article is probably a copy of the bio at a fansite. Singer Ian Lowery has some media coverage and has been in other bands that got some notice, but Ski Patrol is only ever mentioned very briefly as one of his obscure early endeavors. It looks like they were once name-dropped by John Peel, but otherwise the band achieved little notice as an entity in its own right. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 17:42, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. There's enough coverage to justify an article. Ian Lowery is undoubtedly individually notable, and to delete an article on a band which was his focus for 3 or 4 years of his career between two other notable bands (The Wall and The Folk Devils) just seems daft. --Michig (talk) 19:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as the article has been improved since nomination with the addition of a number of references adding up to significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as reliable book coverage that shows a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:30, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable coverage in several books and other reliable sources, and clearly influential in their own scene of their time. pinktoebeans  (talk) 11:45, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Atlantic306. JSFarman (talk) 21:57, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
