StarFish (children's band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Contested prod. Article is about a kid's band, but I cannot find significant coverage in independent reliable sources, only press release blurbs and social media sites. TN X Man 20:03, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

StarFish was proposed for deletion because it is a "non-notable" band, but it was reviewed in the Star-Ledger, Timeout New York, and Cookie Magazine, among others. They have been featured in Putumayo albums and are described as an up and coming children's music band. Manx17 (talk) 20:20, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

This band is one of the top East Coast family music bands. In the little world that is "kindie," they are definitely players. They are signed to WorldSound music label, and were featured on the new Putumayo Kids "Rock and Roll Playground" CD, which has international distribution and is featuring them on a concert tour and "Air Guitar" video contest, also promoted internationally. Here are some other recent articles in print and online: Allentown Morning Call (PA) AOL's "Parent Dish" reviews (online) Common Sense Media (online review)

STarFish is also getting radio play around the country. An example is KDHX Radio in St. Louis. Bethbcpr (talk) 20:58, 30 June 2010 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:29, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Very weak keep. I think it scrapes the GNG. The local press coverage in the Star-Ledger, Time Out and Allentown Morning Call is at least reliable. Fences  &amp;  Windows  21:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
