The Plan (band)

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

The article is about a band (comprised of one man), though appears to give no allusion to notability and cites absolutely no references. If the band had any significant achievements in its time, there is no mention of any ion the article. It appears to give no information besides a discography and links only to a radio station and to the band's myspace page, neither of which qualify as WP:RS and neither of which suggest notability. Other, reliable, sources are conspicuous only by their absence. HJ Mitchell (talk) 17:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, it fails Notability for a band unless they have a single or album that made it on a chart. Toad of Steel (talk) 18:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You are aware there are 11 other criteria a band can meet other than getting on a chart?   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 22:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

...and I know we don't treat YouTube as a reliable source, but this TV performance surely also indicates notability.--Michig (talk) 20:08, 24 April 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete, per WP:MUSIC; I'm surprised CSD didn't work. Ironholds (talk) 18:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC) Keep, gah I'm an idiot.
 * Strong Keep. A good example of why we have WP:BEFORE. This Allmusic bio indicates members of another notable band and, to quote: "the Plan's self-titled debut album was hugely successful in Scandinavia. They received four Swedish Grammy nominations in 2001." The band's first two albums have been on Virgin Records and EMI, which passes another criterion of WP:BAND, and they both charted in the top 40 of the Swedish album chart, which passes another. "This Google News search indicates plenty of significant coverage. Surely these results from 5 minutes of Googling show that it's obvious that this should be kept?--Michig (talk) 20:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Inclues typical band material, and an iw link, seems verifyable. Tomas e (talk) 10:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Passes WP:MUSIC for their albums Embrace Me Beauty getting to #31 on the Swedish Top 60 charts;, and Walk for Gold reaching #38; . The song "Friends Getting Cold" reached #57; . And as pointed out earlier, they pass WP:MUSIC for their EMI & Virgin releases; . While I wasn't as quick as Michig, that only took me 6 minutes.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 22:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
