The Lingus

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This indie rock band from Antrim, Northern Ireland appears to fail WP:N and likely WP:BAND. Not finding any coverage in reliable sources after searches in GNews archives and GBooks. Northamerica1000(talk) 00:52, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete I'm unsure that "enjoying airplay" is sufficient when the benchmark seems to be 'rotation'. The absence of sources except MySpace site strongly suggests sub-optimal notability for Wikipedia.  Ohconfucius  ping / poke 03:27, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete as too soon - Despite performing very detailed searches (adding "Antrim music", "indie rock" and "Ireland") at Google News UK, Ireland and US, it seems they never established sufficient ground. One of my searches provided this minor mention (seventh paragraph from the top) as part of a compilation CD on which they were featured, unsurprisingly, from 2004. Additionally, the lack of sources is probably due to their short four-year term. It also seems they were primarily based in Ireland so any relevant sources should only be English unless they established a fan base in other countries, which I'm not seeing any evidence of this. Yet another short term and non-notable band. SwisterTwister   talk  05:44, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete for per above and for failing verifiability. Links show only broadcasts and no references.  A notable band would have significant coverage.  Blue   Riband►  02:59, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
