Spread Eagle (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There are references in the article, but all of them are passing mentions of the band. Not one is a review or interview or otherwise something that indicates significant coverage. Maybe this article passes A7, but that's all. I don't think it is WP:GNG. &mdash; Timneu22 &middot; &#32; talk 11:33, 17 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. I have my doubts Timneu22 has ever read anything. I have an explanation a about notability on the discussion page of the article, I posted a longer one Timneu22s user page, basically PROVING notability from the guidelines for notability.


 * As far as I remember I have interviews with three band members in the references, and all references are ABOUT the band and not passing mentions.


 * And I miss the contributions that Timneu22 allegedly made, I can't find any of them, he awarded himself with a lot of Barnstars just for fun, I'm not sure if he's the right one to judge this.

 * Keep. Two albums on MCA Records passes WP:BAND criterion 5. The band is covered in The Great Metal Discography (bio and discography), Allmusic (bio and review), in the book Raise Your Voice by Jaime J. Vendera, in The Encyclopedia of heavy metal music by William Phillips & Brian Cogan, and in The encyclopedia of popular music by Colin Larkin, thereby also passing criterion 1.--Michig (talk) 07:00, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Having two albums being released via MCA Records does aid in notability of this band, and they do appear to have enbough notability and coverage to have their own wikipedia article as a band. Some of the formatting is a bit awry (bold person names, for instance), and the sentence sourced by the second reference appears to be unencyclopedic by stating that it's called a "classic" by an unidentified party, but that can be worked on.
