The Pretty Reckless

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable band, fails WP:BAND, should be merged with Taylor Momsen, who is notable. Refs are either self-published (#1,3,5) or refer primarily to Momsen (#2, 4). No awards, charted songs, etc. GregJackP (talk) 15:35, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Passes WP:BAND Namely (Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.) BBC Radio 1 'A' Playlist - http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/playlist/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.112.136.223 (talk) 21:47, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

This should probably not be deleted. It's a good article, reads well, has some references. It also seems to meet our criteria (if barely). But if it is deleted, make sure the content is not lost. I would expect the album release to generate enough press (or even chart success) to definitely warrant an article. And rewriting it would be a bitch. Pepve (talk) 21:41, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

The Pretty Reckless got a positive review in the NY Post on May 18 2010 - http://www.nypost.com/p/blogs/music/the_pretty_reckless_is_pretty_good_3BDBeRmliITw2CPhfqslEM More reason to keep the article.

 * Keep. The band passes #1 ( Glasswerk, About.com, NY Daily, + more just on google news), #2 (#16 on UK Singles Chart), #10 (Make Me Wanna Die from Kick Ass) and #11 (rotation on BBC Radio 1) of WP:BAND. I don't see why it should be deleted. liquidluck ✽ talk  00:20, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Liquidluck's references, in particular the one that confirms of their songs has charted on a notable national singles chart (UK Singles Chart). However, it should be noted that the song debuted on the UK Singles Chart after this AfD was opened, so the nominator was indeed correct that the artist did not have a charting single before the nomination. However, they do indeed now pass criterion #2. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 20:15, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Charting band, featured in a chart-topping Hollywood movie, album on the verge of release, well-known lead singer. Definitely notable, and will be even more so in a matter of months. It would be a shame for the current content to go to waste in the mean time. Saint91 (talk) 22:06, 25 May 2010 (UTC) — Saint91 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment - since the band has had a song hit the charts subsequent to this AfD nomination, it renders this discussion moot. I would like to withdraw my nomination and close as !keep. GregJackP (talk) 14:27, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
