The Dirt Rich Band

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Whilst loving the music on the high-quality YouTube video, I cannot find any evidence in Google searches of this new band's notability that would meet the criteria in WP:NMUSIC. All credit to their drummer for posting this short entry. It would be better if they waited until there were more independent, third-party articles, a chart hit, or an award or two to support it. Nice music though. (I could be eating my words in a year or two's time, but for now I think it must be an AfD) Parkywiki (talk) 00:43, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - Unfortunately, I completely agree with the nom. Nice music, but no notability. Searches turned up a couple of trivial hits on News, another hit which was to their website. Other than that, zip. I saw this on NPP and almost speedied it, but didn't have the time to research until I got home.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:50, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON. I'm quite liking the song too (and I'm not even a fan of contemporary country music, as much as I looooove the classic stuff), so I'm sure they're destined for bigger things in 2017 — but Wikipedia isn't a free public relations platform on which a band automatically gets an article just because a video posted to YouTube verifies that they exist: a band gets a Wikipedia article when reliable source coverage about them in media verifies passage of one or more WP:NMUSIC criteria. No prejudice against recreation once that can be shown, but an article cannot be kept just because it unsourcedly claims "some" unquantified success. Bearcat (talk) 18:33, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
