The Dameans

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

No notability claimed in article. Unable to find verifiable independent source to support an article for this group. Fails WP:MUSN. Bigvernie (talk) 20:40, 27 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Are we looking at the same article? "their music "dominate[d] the publications scene" is certainly a claim to notability, and there are two sources cited. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete And that dominance of the "publication scene" meant what, exactly? Tom Reedy (talk) 22:12, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * The nominator argues that no claim of notability was made when there is one, even though it is admittedly a bit vague. My reading of it is that they were known for the songs they composed, which were published so that others could preform them at their own churches. And what of the two sources attached? What is the problem with those exactly? Beeblebrox (talk) 23:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. This is a lousy article with a clear claim of notability. As for sources, here's an article in Billboard: . — Gavia immer (talk) 23:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry my article is lousy, Gavia, it's just a poor little stub waiting for someone to come along and show it some love. BTW, the Billboard reference you've given is unfortunately an advertisement, not an article.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 23:54, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * D'oh! I swear I checked that more closely... — Gavia immer (talk) 01:24, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep (I'm the article's creator). What a bizarre nomination, as Beeblebrox said it's like the nominator was looking at something else.  Anyway, I've added two more references, and if anyone has composer Ken Canedo's recent book Keep the Fire Burning: The Folk Mass Revolution, which isn't indexed online, you'll find the Dameans significantly covered there.  They're discussed quite substantially in the podcasts that accompany the book, but I didn't feel like citing to online audio files (though they would surely constitute reliable sources) and I no longer have the book on hand.  Anyway, this verges on a speedy keep.    Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 23:54, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Nominator went through a little drive by tagging phase and nominated a bunch of articles that didn't deserve it. This is one of them. Notability is definitely met through the use of multiple sources. —  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 19:06, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
