Telacasters

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article written by one of its members about an unsigned band which has just self-released its first album on the internet. No independent references, and I have not found anything but Myspace, Twitter, Last.fm etc and listing-type mentions. The article was deleted WP:CSD, but the author has argued persistently for it to be restored and thinks he can show that his band meets WP:BAND so I bring it here to get more eyes on it.

 * Delete The article does not contain a claim to notability per WP:BAND, and I can not find any independent coverage. Even if a band meets one of the requirements for notability, the article must contain information from outside sources to be verifiable. None of the information in this article can be verified without sources, thus it should be deleted unless independent coverage of the subject can be used to back up the claims made in the article. Also, I would suggest that editors with a conflict of interest refrain from approaching this article if the name of the editor is truly his name in real life.

 * Speedy delete A7/band. If the author really thinks they have some additional notability that isn't apparent from the article, then let's hear it, but the article as it stands is clearly completely non-notable. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  16:50, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, arguably a small assertion of notability in touring with notable bands, but overall, doesn't meet WP:MUSIC yet. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:03, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Per WP:BAND. Warrah (talk) 17:38, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: The page just needs a little more time to be edited and finished. We are working hard to make sure it meets the Wikipedia requirements. Justinbivona (talk) 21:04, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this band. Joe Chill (talk) 22:57, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: I've seen Wikipedia pages with a whole lot less. I'm in the process of helping this page, linking the musicians to other notable bands they've played in. It may take a few days, but this entry already meets at least one of the WP:BAND requirements. Dailybasis3 (talk) 23:14, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
