The Color Bars

Fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:BAND. No reliable sources. -- Wikipedical (talk) 19:15, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Google News, Nexis, and Google Books. I've read most of these.  In many AFD debates, I have found that blogs like Chicagoist aren't considered reliable sources.  Further, brief mentions or interviews with bandmembers don't confer notability.  I would agree that the first article in Dayton City Paper is the most reliable, but I wouldn't say this band has significant coverage in reliable sources from just one or two articles.  --  Wikipedical (talk) 22:06, 6 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete despite efforts from Michig. Needs truly reliable sources, and then more than trivial mentions. The WP:GNG calls for sources that are reliable in the sense that they have standards for editorial fact checking, and with significant coverage that's more than a trivial mention. Agree that an interview might be useful to verify some facts about the band, but not independent enough to establish notability. Vcessayist (talk) 01:53, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
