Steer clear

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Previously speedied per WP:CSD, but this no longer meets the criteria. Appear to be a signed band, but a search through Google and other sources reveals mentions on fansites such as Bebo, and few reputable sites to verify notability of this band. PeterSymonds (talk)  22:50, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note: also another article on this band at Steer Clear band. I have redirected it to this one, but the previous version may contain information worth merging. Wheelchair Epidemic (talk) 23:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Keep: on the borderline, but have certainly played around the UK and Ireland (including Tower Records in Dublin) and also at SXSW, which sort of hits WP:BAND criteria 4. The problem is that all the sources are blogs, YouTube etc. which makes it difficult to source properly. Wheelchair Epidemic (talk) 23:05, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete - coverage in reliable sources seems to be close to non-existent. I found this very short review on the BBC site.  There is lots of blog buzz for the band, and with the SXSW appearance, they appear to be a fast up and coming band.  However a single appearance in a festival without any coverage of that fact doesn't meet criterion 4 of WP:BAND. If some additional reliable sources can be dug up (I couldn't find anything more), then it would clear the notability bar. -- Whpq (talk) 17:17, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep but gut for now. Just on the good side of notability, but WP:V is more important, and is hardly being met. Only verifiable material - verifiable by reliable sources - should remain. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 17:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, &mdash;Sean Whitton / 14:02, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete on the basis of lack of coverage. Article isnt great quality so i dont think this is a great loss. -- neon white talk 22:15, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I added a reference. It's a feature article about the band in News of the World (and perhaps there is more newspaper coverage?) which verifies some of the content, including that the band is touring Ireland and the UK. Maybe this pushes it into a keep. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:37, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
