The Capricorns

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I'm bring this to AfD because I feel this doesn't meet the standards set at WP:BAND. This is a contested prod with the following statement, which sums it up better than I could: "Never appeared on any national record chart; only local releases, nothing nationally (U.S. or anywhere else); no coverage in any reliable sources independent of the act or either local record company that released the group's records; commercial listings in an online store do not demonstrate anything close to meeting the WP:BAND bar".

 * Delete Not notable at all. Rick Doodle (talk) 05:58, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Allmusic bio here and a substantial review here, four albums, at least one of which is on a significant label (Banazan). More coverage from Athens Exchange, Kotori magazine.--Michig (talk) 06:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Releasing an album doesn't make you notable, selling a lot of them does. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:BAND, selling lots of records is only one of the accepted criteria for notability. People writing about you is not only a criterion of WP:BAND, it is also enough to pass WP:GNG.--Michig (talk) 06:42, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
