Starar

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This appears to be a (reasonably) well-written page about a non-notable band. Their is some independent coverage of the band available: this blog post from the Coventry Telegraph and this interview from This is Lincolnshire are already included in the article, and a Gnews search also brought up this story about their neighbours complaining about the noise that their band makes during rehearsals. That does not add up to meeting WP:MUSICBIO in my eyes - I'd welcome your thoughts on this. Thanks. — sparklism hey! 14:42, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Borderline Keep seems to meet criterion 1 of notability (music) by having coverage from "multiple" non-trivial sources, multiple could, I suppose, mean two...I guess it could meet WP:GNG, again, depending on how you define "signifiicant". If there were somewhere legitimate to redirect this to, that would be my vote, but seeing as it's pretty well written, has some sources, and an argument can be constructed that it meets notability guidelines, I would vote keep.

 * Delete - It's not enough to simply count sources and cross a magic threshold of keep; we should evaluate based on the type and nature of the coverage. What I see is a couple of article about a local band in a local paper.  That's not enough to establish inclusion for me. -- Whpq (talk) 16:03, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per Whpq. The band has some coverage, but it is essentially entirely local coverage, and thus is not really enough to establish any sort of widespread notability.  Rorshacma (talk) 17:02, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Based on the reliable source coverage -- Lincolnshire Echo June 14, 2010, Lincolnshire Echo February 19, 2011, Lincolnshire Echo March 1, 2012 -- the main topic would be something like Publicity efforts of Starar whereas Starar would be a subtopic. Neither one meets WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 03:42, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
