The Layaways (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Unremarkable band. References citing "received attention" refer more to an article written by a band member, but aren't specifically about the band itself. Google search on the band name shows a lot of social media, primary sources, and directory/sales links, but little significant coverage of the band itself.

 * Weak keep. Not an awful lot of coverage it seems but in addition to the sources in the article there are also a couple of PopMatters reviews:, , and this from Billboard.biz.--Michig (talk) 19:05, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep per the sources in the article and those identified by Michig. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:05, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. Less non-notable than most other bands, but one album in 8 years?  Notable because of an unusual business model?  My local newsagent has an unusual business model, but it doesn't make him notable.  But I am so cynical about all of these little known bands wanting a Wikipedia page maybe I am too deletionist. --Legis (talk - contribs) 08:23, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I created this article, so I won't vote for Keep or Delete. But I did update it with the three references suggested by Michig and added details about the band's more recent releases (2008 and 2009). Georgemasonry (talk) 03:57, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
