Telepath (band)

Contested PROD. This band fails WP:MUSIC as none of their albums have charted and I can find no significant third-party coverage of them. ArcAngel (talk) 23:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this band. Joe Chill (talk) 02:06, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * DO NOT DELETE: If you review archives of Relix Magazine with readership over 300K or Glide Magazine or many other local newspapers you can find significant third party coverage...this thread should not be deleted.'''Andygregryan (talk) 22:14, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Fails WP:BAND; references given fail to satisfy our requirements. Relix, for example, uses the word "telepath" or "telepathic" a few times; and the name "Telepath" appears on a couple of band lists; this does not constitute substantial coverage. Being covered by the local smalltown alternative weekly does not constitute substantial coverage by reliable sources. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:26, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Coverage found is sufficient to establish notability, e.g. these:, , , , , , and there are also smaller mentions and student newspaper articles such as , , , , .--Michig (talk) 08:40, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - The above links appear to be student newspapers, or otherwise local links. Shadowjams (talk) 11:06, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The issue is whether the sources are reliable and whether the coverage is significant. The Post & Courier is local to Charleston, Glide Magazine isn't student/local, The Mountain Times is local to North Carolina, and the Charleston City paper is local to Charleston. The band is from Philadelphia/Ashville. If the only coverage was from their home town, there would be a case for saying that it isn't enough, but local coverage from outside the band's area is a different matter.--Michig (talk) 12:23, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
