Swingtips

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contrary to claim, band wasn't part of swing revival. Can't find them in any of my sources (books) or online. Not notable, not enough sources exist for an article of substance. Orphaned article for almost ten years. Vmavanti (talk) 23:22, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

I think this article should remain as it is but with a few added corroborated links and citations as it is all factually correct and can be verified. You didn't do your research, and yes these links may not be in the article already, however, they verify information in the article marked as "citation needed." It is a blind, bold statement to claim that The Swingtips weren't part of the swing revival, as there are many sources here (some biased) as well as music compilations that show the importance of The Swingtips. Can we please keep this civil and not jump to conclusions? This has already jumped to a bad start and I thank you for bringing up the uttermost importance of more citations so that interested individuals may find more information if they feel it necessary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simitar_Entertainment

 * Delete Fails WP:GNG, No reliable sources to speak of. Half of the sources in the article are just refs supporting appearances of their songs in media, while other ones seem to indicate . The sources provided by Blakiemon do little to help; Discogs is user generated and can't be used to establish notability, and even then, just because a band was featured on a few compalations doesn't make them notable. As for the google books, all of them sans the billboard one appear to be passing mentions, and are thus not usable. The billboard one seems to be talking about a compilation, which again does not establish notability. As for the last two, the DavidThomasroberts link is just about a compilation and that's it, while the amazon is one is the same thing. It exists, but there's little coverage on them beyond that. 💵Money💵emoji💵Talk💸Help out at CCI! 13:28, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. Their Christmas album was reviewed in the article Seasonal CDs: The good, the bad, the ... eccentric.(VARIETY)(Review); Bream, Jon ; Surowicz, Tom; Star Tribune (Minneapolis, MN), Dec 8, 1998, p.01E. Other than that, I mainly just found promotional material.4meter4 (talk) 20:04, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete There is no significant coverage in reliable sources, just some brief mentions here and there which is not enough to fulfill the WP:GNG. Pax:Vobiscum (talk) 14:07, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. It's approaching the threshold, but ultimately there just isn't enough independent coverage to pass WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 14:51, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
