Ten Hands (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Doesn't appear to meet WP:NBAND. Minimal coverage in non-primary sources. Created by SPA with possible COI. Yunshui 雲 水 16:38, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Multiple articles in the Dallas Observer, plus a substantial Allmusic bio and 5 album reviews there, plus this, are between them enough to support an article. --Michig (talk) 19:37, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The Dallas Observer articles are two interviews with the band's lead singer (primary sources) and an event listing (trivial coverage); Allmusic is user-generated content; the book entry is a passing mention that confirms Slaven as the lead singer, and not much else. I did consider these sources (except the book, which is a new one to me) prior to nominating, but concluded that they were not sufficient to meet the notability criteria. However, YMMV.

 * Allmusic biographies and reviews labelled 'Allmusic review' are written by Allmusic staff, and not user-generated content. --Michig (talk) 17:36, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Leaning keep: there's probably just enough in the Dallas Observer and AllMusic coverage to pass notability. Plus they have two very notable past members who have subsequently played on multiple charting records by other bands... I know notability isn't inherited, but it means there is a good chance Ten Hands was mentioned in the background of these members when articles have been written about these charting bands.
