Sunshine / At the Drive-In

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I prodded this yesterday with the reason "Unnotable split single - cant find coverage, no references, charting, nothing". Prod was removed by an editor with the reason that At the Drive-In are notable. Indeed they are, but not every release by a notable act has sufficient coverage in reliable sources for a stand-alone article.

 * Delete Notability isn't inherited; no sources. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 18:46, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, userfy for me if deleted: You'll note that when I removed the PROD, I didn't just give "the band is notable" as the reason...I said that because they are notable and received wide coverage, I suspect (or at least hope) that sources for an article on one of their releases would be obtainable. I intend to make a good-faith effort to find some, but I suspect that will take me longer than 7 days (between real life, other on-wiki projects, and my internet being out for a couple of days). I can't really argue strongly against deletion at this point, since I don't have adequate sources at the moment from which to improve the article, but if it is deleted I'd like to hold it in userspace so that I may have more time to search out sources. Thanks. --IllaZilla (talk) 19:30, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Changing my opinion to keep due to improvements and sources added by Theornamentalist. --IllaZilla (talk) 01:34, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - New Wave of American Heavy Metal (some info) The new Rolling Stone album guide (3.5 stars) Giant robot, Issues 16-23 (not much at all, but can't hurt/released as 12") Artist Direct (track info/basic) Film Junk Review (review/not entirely a RS) Band Stereo Killer (Bio of Sunshine, mentions in passing) Vh1 (tracklisting) STNT (review/info. in French) IMPACT Press (Review) AllMusicGuide (very basic) Mowno (info/possibly blog?) CMJ Chart (#3 Debut, pretty impressive for a split EP/debut IMO) CMJ chart #60 - Theornamentalist (talk) 14:34, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing that any of these qualify as significant coverage in reliable sources...Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 14:45, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * There aren't entire articles on the album, just wanted to show there is reliable information on the album, and in my opinion, enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia - Theornamentalist (talk) 15:10, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the sourses, Theornamentalist, I'll have a look when I get home and see if I can use them to improve the article. --IllaZilla (talk) 22:08, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - eh, added in references/general info and wikified and bit, still could use a copyedit though. - Theornamentalist (talk) 00:13, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep based on new sources found by theornamentalist riffic (talk) 06:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
