The Fire Department

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable band. Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:BAND.

Band doesn't seem to be signed to any notable label which would infer notability if they had released more than one album on that label.

A Google News search provides no articles about the subject. A Google News Archive search also produces no articles that would constitute independent and significant coverage from a reliable source. The band's name makes it difficult to search for sources, though.

Lastly, the article has two references. One is significant coverage from an independent and reliable sources but the source is a local online newspaper. The other is also a reliable and independent source but the coverage isn't significant, in my opinion, as the article is about a college event.

I've gone through the band's website feed (their Facebook page as their website is just a picture) and can't find any articles that would represent significant and independent coverage from a reliable source. The band seems to have a following and has allegedly "shared the stage" with some notable performers, but doesn't seem to be notable at this time. Perhaps they will be in the future and at that time, the article can be reinstated with additional sources.  Ol Yeller21 Talktome  17:13, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
