The Republic Tigers

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Listed for Speedy deletion as a CSD:A7. There is a claim of notability on the talk page and in the article that one member was in another notable band (The Golden Republic (band)). I'm not sure they meet WP:MUSIC but I don't think A7 applies here and the Speedy was contested so I'm listing it here.--Isotope23 18:49, 22 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak keep. Assuming that The Golden Republic is notable itself (a cursory search suggests it is), then the relevant point of WP:BAND is "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable" (it is probably not appropriate to use redirects, as this is a band with members who weren't in the other band - and the guy who was joined this band after leaving the old one). I'm trusting that consensus has decided this is a good reason to call a band notable, because without it this would be a definite delete . Trebor 22:44, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. I'm not an expert on the music world, so I cannot evaluate whether a notable person in an old band starting a new band makes the new band notable. (In this case, I don't think so.)  Sources on Google confirm that this band exists and has performed, but that's it.  I see no significant press coverage.  If the best links you can show me are a myspace profile and a blog post, you haven't made your case for notability successfully.  Note also that the "history" section is unsourced.
