The Belle Miners

I don't this band meets WP:N. I would encourage the creator to move it to their draft space and flesh it out a bit more. Classicwiki (talk) (ping me please, I don't watch pages) 04:30, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Simply not notable. No sign of any decent coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 05:10, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - Doesn't seem to be much available by way of secondary source coverage. Fails WP:GNG. May just be too soon? No objection to draftifying/userfying if creator desires. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 07:27, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete (or draft/user space). Very new band who aren't yet notable. There's nothing online about their debut album other than a Bandcamp page. It's self-released and not been reviewed anywhere. The follow-up "Powerful Owl" (which some sources describe as their debut, indicating the status of the first) is apparently unreleased. Event listings but no other press coverage. Fails WP:MUSIC and WP:GNG. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:39, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete, they're not there yet. "Love, Nourish, Flourish" appears to just be a demo tape based on the few references to the band that I was able to locate.  Can't see that they meet WP:NMUSIC yet.  Note that this should not be taken as a negative comment on the quality of their work or of their music, it is merely an assertion that they're not ready for Wikipedia yet.

 * Comment from author, thanks for your feedback. I'm happy to leave this unpublished for now. I wasn't sure whether it would pass the requirements. The band is quite successful already, individually as well. They have been recipients of a very large ($45k) grant from FACTOR, which is the Canadian Independent Radio Stations' grant process, to which only a small number of artists are signed each year. We're about to sign with one of the biggest independent distributors in Australia (MGM, Groovemaster) and have a solid following as well as promotion, radio play and media through the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (sadly in Tasmania, they remove their interviews after 60 days) and Parks Tasmania (numerous references online). What we're missing of course, is the mainstream media coverage through music magazines etc. So on your recommendation, do we wait a while until we get this recognition? We'd love to get your advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wildiaries (talk • contribs) 06:04, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for being so understanding about our admittedly arcane practices! What I suggest is that we park this in the draft space (so it will have the word "Draft:" affixed to the title) for the time being.  While it's there we can continue editing it and adding new material, but it won't be part of the encyclopaedia or indexed by most search engines.  If/when the band gets to the stage that there are multiple significant articles of coverage in reliable sources, it can then be moved back into the article space without too much fuss.
