Strifer

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

Unsigned band, was eliminated on first day of a reality show. No sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 14:49, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. No claim of notability that passes WP:MUSIC so clear deletion candidate. Theseeker4 (talk) 14:59, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - notability established the usual way. MUSIC supplements N, not superseeds it.  Not an exceptional case that requires overruling usual practice. Wily D  17:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Where are the sources then if they meet WP:N? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:11, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * In the article. Wily D 18:47, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * That's just one source. Do you really think one source is enough when no more seem to exist? Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 20:16, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Other sources exist, though I haven't seen any as comprehensive. Yes, I think one high quality source is enough, but you can verify some bits through other sources  and so forth. Wily D  00:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't see substantial coverage from reliable sources. I see 1 decent article, 1 press release, and 1 mention. Fails WP:MUSIC and WP:NOTE. Even with this second article from The Union, I don't see it. — Hello, Control Hello, Tony  19:16, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The article cited by Wily establishes that the band was going to compete in a reality tv show, not that the band is notable. And as for the other "sources" offered, no comment.ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I've added more sources just now: There are actually four articles in The Union that either are entirely about the band (3) or have a brief mention of them (1). Of course, WP:N notability would be more strongly established with a range of news sources, rather than just this one local paper. But WP:N allows the use of local sources because Wikipedia is both a general and a specialized encyclopedia. The coverage is not widespread in this case, but I would say it's a weak keep.
