Song Dogs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a band which makes no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, strikes a very advertorial rather than encyclopedic tone — and was written by a member of the band (compare creator's username to the name of the guitarist), which makes it a WP:COI violation. Most of the sourcing here, further, is of the bloggy variety, with the few appropriately reliable sources (New York Times, WXPN) being short blurbs that aren't substantive enough to get a band over WP:GNG. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when they accomplish something that satisfies NMUSIC, but right now it's a promotional advertisement rather than a proper encyclopedia article, and thus needs to be deleted.

 * Delete. I agree that there isn't enough at this time to justify an article. The band's website seems to list pretty much all the 'press' mentions that exist, and it's mainly blogs. --Michig (talk) 06:59, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete (draft/userfy if wished) as my searches found nothing particularly different from the current sources here and here. Simply not much to suggest better notability or improvement. SwisterTwister   talk  05:33, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
