The Downtown Fiction

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable band. Apparently claims of notability, though not valid, trump WP:BAND. Woogee (talk) 04:36, 18 April 2010 (UTC) The Downtown Fiction is notable for the following reasons: 1) Signed to Major Label 2) On both of the biggest US touring rock festivals of 2010 3) Have received over 25 syncs on MTV and E! network television shows including The Hills, The Real World, Keeping Up with The Kardashians, and the season finale of MTV's "Styl'd". 4) They've released two EPs, both of which charted Top 50 on iTunes and ranked in the Top 50 Billboard Heat Seekers Charts 5) Trended number 1 on Twitter Worldwide on multiple occasions
 * Delete. WP:BAND isn't trumped. Notability claims only saved them from a speedy deletion. They don't have an album out yet, and their only mentions outside of minor blogs are in lists of bands attending various shows. ~ neko-chan :3 (talk) 04:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing to meet the requirements of WP:BAND. As far as WP:GNG goes, the references are two tour listings, a forum thread, a blog and the briefest of article covering their signing, so nowhere near providing non trivial coverage in multiple reliable sources that are required.
