The Pete &amp; Mike Band

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable band. Only Google hits are to compilation sites or the band's own MySpace. No Google News hits. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Certain publications that have featured this band are not currently available online. The Band has, however been featured nationally in various other formats. If the publications involving this band are available online, they will be added to this article. Namely the Falmouth Enterprise, which has covered the band's residency in Woods Hole for 3 years. This band has also sold over 10,000 records independently and should therefore be considered "notable." digital and non-digital sales figures are available.

 * Delete, fails notability per WP:MUSIC. Searching pulls up no reliable, third-party, sources.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 21:00, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Boston Globe - Boston.com Special Report...and in rotation on major radio network WMVY. Links To Both Media Sources In Article. This is notable. 68.44.69.20 (talk) 22:11, 18 February 2009 (UTC) srry, not logged in Heymikey84 (talk) 22:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you Mike of Pete & Mike? If so there is a conflict of interest WP:COI issue with the article. JamesBurns (talk) 05:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Sorry -- the Boston.com site shows up blank when I search for "Pete & Mike Band". The link you have provided leads to a blank page (although this may be an issue with my company firewall -- I'll check again later when I'm home).  And WMVY is not really a "major radio network" -- it's a local radio station which has a program highlighting local talent.  That may make the band LOCALLY notable, but that is not sufficient for the criteria of WP:MUSIC.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:25, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete: no significant 3rd party sources WP:BAND. JamesBurns (talk) 05:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

OK, this makes senese. delete, and article will be reposted when sufficient national third-party sources are available. 68.44.69.20 (talk) 13:38, 19 February 2009 (UTC)Heymikey84 (talk) 13:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Boston Globe link definitely works on this end, it is from 2006, so not currently on boston.com, no, but w/o firewall should pull up from archives...would like to know if this will still work as a third-party source in the future... WMVY being a local source i understand. thanks. Heymikey84 (talk) 13:52, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
