The AllStars

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable group of session musicians. Not notable collectively, no individually. Cited references all fail to mention this group by name (or even by implication). WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:29, 12 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I understand where you are coming from and can see what you mean about the references cited to date. I am in the process of inserting updated references which make specific mention of the collective and demonstrate notability directly and not by implication. Thank you for your help in making sure the article is correct and diligent. Please let me know shortly if the updates bring the article more within the Wikipedia requirements and if not, perhaps you could give examples of where I have gone wrong.

 * Keep As someone who closely follows the London funk, soul and blues scene, and having followed the AllStars since around 2006, I'd like to add to this discussion. How notable artists are is highly subjective, especially if you haven't personally encountered them, however The AllStars have a significant following in their own right in London so personally I'm surprised to see their article being considered for deletion. As well as being notable artists in their own right, it says something of their credibility when they have undeniably notable global artists like Jocelyn Brown and Nile Rodgers performing with them at venues such as the Royal Albert Hall. The content of the article appears to give an objective description of the group so I recommend keeping it. Nicksthompson (talk) 13:14, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment The notability of a band is not highly subjective; Wikipedia has clearly defined guidelines to assess their notability, and there is no indication that this band has met those guidelines. I'm glad Nick is a fan, but that doesn't make the band notable.  Nor does their appearance with notable artists such as Jocelyn Brown or Nile Rodgers; they appear to be merely the local pickup band available to support an artist in a one-off performance.  Yes, they are probably good, great maybe even, but not notable.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:31, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. Bombarding an article with bad sources does not make this "band" notable. Yes they are talented and have played with some notable artists. Notability is not inherited from them. No independent notability shown. duffbeerforme (talk) 16:50, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
