The Color Morale

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Well-presented article, but not (yet) a notable band. The article was posted by the band's promotion agency, see here. That isn't itself a reason for deletion, but it makes us look hard at the claims of notability: they have opened for notable bands, have just released their first album, and later in the year will go on tour as a supporting act. This is promising but does not yet meet the notability standard of WP:MUSICBIO. JohnCD (talk) 13:31, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No significant coverage to merit inclusion at this point. Smartse (talk) 18:19, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - The band just doesn't seem notable right now, they're on a small label and haven't charted or have any media coverage. The best of luck to them but the way to get promotion isn't in Wikipedia. --  At am a  頭 18:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: in fact I would say speedy delete. There is no indication in the article of notability, and none found by searching. Speedy delete tag was removed apparently because of a claim that they will be part of someone else's tour as a supporting act; I don't see this as a claim of significance. Even if I am wrong about that, there is still no evidence for substantial independent coverage.  JamesBWatson (talk) 18:59, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment by nominator - WP:CSD is a lower standard than WP:BAND, and some people expressed the view that there was enough assertion of importance in the article to lift it out of A7 territory. I'm not sure I agree, but the article sat with a db tag on it for more than 20 hours, during which time several admins must have looked at it and decided not to speedy it, though they were evidently doubtful enough not to decline the speedy. Evidently a borderline case. JohnCD (talk) 19:15, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per the reasons above. The point about tours is I assume they should be the headliners, not supporting acts since presumably they would not have a national tour themselves. Clubmarx (talk) 00:55, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, not yet notable. I was one of several who tagged this for speedy, only to have the original editor remove the speedy notice repeatedly. (He's spamming, too.) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:01, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete – db tag keeps getting removed by an anonymous user but no one ever adds any sources, probably because there aren't any. Rees11 (talk) 01:55, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
