The Dusters

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

A7 declined because assertion of notability made on talk page. Initially simply tagged this article for notability (and a host of other issues including possible COI and not being referenced), but upon re-reading the assertions on the talk page (also not backed up by sources) and doing a quick Google search I couldn't find anything aside from the band's own site and myspace that relates to this subject or backs up the claim on the talk page. I'd like to be proven wrong, but until I see such evidence, this article fails WP:NMUSIC. Delete.

 * It is tough to find sources online for a band that was popular in the 1980s and early 90s, but there is this and this from the Nashville Scene. As for offline sources, I found a two-paragraph concert review (March 17, 1990) in the Austin American-Statesman (p. F9), and another two-paragraph concert review in the Houston Chronicle (August 10, 1987). Another article in the American-Statesman (March 16, 1989) says, "The Nashville rockin' blues trio the Dusters was voted best Nashville band last year by Nashville Scene; the members have been together since 1984 and have toured the country." (p. D2). Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 02:00, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep per WP:HEY based on the sources found by Paul Erik. Bearian (talk) 02:22, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I've got no objections to keeping per WP:HEY or even withdrawing my nomination, but the article needs to be improved and backed up with those sources before I would consider doing so. StrPby (talk) 02:24, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
