The Ragas

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

Notability not asserted. Fails WP:MUSIC. Written by a WP:single-purpose account that's contesting a closely-associated speedy. Qworty (talk) 23:36, 4 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Almost an A7 for lack of assertion of notability.  Only possible claim to fame is that a band member is the son of a notable musician, but notability is not inherited.  Also, the only source appears to be from usenet--hardly a reliable source.  OlenWhitaker   • talk to me or don't • ♣ ♥ ♠ ♦ 01:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

 * The following is excerpt from webpage interview with Roger McGuinn at :http://www.christianitytoday.com/music/interviews/2004/rogermcguinn-0604.html


 * Tell me a little about your family.


 * McGuinn: Camilla and I married in 1978. We just celebrated our 26th anniversary. We had both been in previous marriages. Camilla had no children. I had two sons, Patrick and Henry. Patrick plays guitar and sings. He has recorded several albums, but as a graduate of NYU film school, he prefers making films. Henry plays guitar and sings and has made two CDs.


 * Roger started the Byrds in 1964 or 65. You can read this at the Byrds wikipedia.


 * The Ragas are notable among the Byrds fans at the very least.

 * None of these references satisfies the Wikipedia referencing guidelines as the first is simply the artist talking about himself (i.e. a press release,) the second just offers downloads of a few mp3 clips of this duo in concert, and the third isn't even about the group; it only mentions a member. No one is claiming this to be a hoax; we all agree this band exists.  There just isn't any evidence that this article meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion.  I suggest you read WP:RS for what constitutes an appropriate source, and WP:MUSIC for guidelines on what bands or artists should be included in Wikipedia.  If you can come up with a source that meets WP:RS and WP:MUSIC, I'd gladly change my opinion, but for now my prior statement still stands.

 * delete - Article doesn't seem to assert notability beyond the fact of one member being the son of someone famous. You can bring up WP:RS; however, my delete vote is based on this article's subject failing WP:N, as they don't seem to have done anything notable.
