Swan Island (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I tagged this in October 2008 for possibly not meeting the GNG. At the time the only source was the bands official website. (Since gone stale) Since that time a local papers articles were added (see dif) - one for "Best new band 2006" and one for "Swan Island Calling it Quits" - but not much else. I still have the same concerns I did in 2008. Soundvisions1 (talk) 15:03, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Also received coverage from SPIN, Allmusic, PopMatters, Portland Mercury, City Pages, Leo Weekly.--Michig (talk) 20:16, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - In agreement with Michig. There's gotta be a better process for drawing attention to articles that need help, rather than forcing the issue via AfD. Of course, if Michig found sources online, and probably without much effort, it's surely possible for nominators to do the same thing themselves instead of waiting years for someone else to do it. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 13:28, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Reply: it's surely possible for nominators to do the same thing themselves instead of waiting years for someone else to do it. Surely, if all I did was article patrol. But I don't - I mainly do image patrol. Two years to fix the issues so it's surely possible for editors voicing "keep" to do the same thing themselves instead of waiting years for someone else to do it and than commenting in deletion discussion how it should have been fixed two years ago.

 * Busted! Due to lack of time when I cast my vote yesterday, I committed the sin that I accused others of committing. I was unable to improve the article yesterday and therefore had to wait nearly two years. One day, in fact. And it only took me a few minutes longer than it takes someone to start an AfD. -- D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 14:14, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
