The Return (the band)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A very minor English band without any evidence of notability. This was tagged for A7 speedy (correctly, in my mind), but there's been a bit of debate at the talk page, and since multiple editors don't like the idea of speedying this, I really don't think it good to delete without formal discussion.

 * Delete. I'm the administrator who speedy deleted the article twice under A7. The third creation expanded the text and added the Birmingham Mail link. However, that's the only reliable source, and it doesn't cover much, so little in the article is verified. And verifiability is a big issue: the article even contradicts itself about when the band formed. For me, it comes down to this: the band did get a slot on (inter)national radio, but it was only two songs—not a half-hour show, not placement in heavy rotation. They have yet to release an album. As a result, they have not yet proven themselves to be a notable band. —C.Fred (talk) 06:40, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Other than the birminghammail.com reference, the references that were added earlier were not reliable or not significant coverage. I don't feel this satisfies wp:GNG, which uses words like "multiple sources". ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 06:56, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with all above stated reasons, and also some of the deleted references worked to show the band did not meet notable band. Trythisonyourpiano (talk) 08:21, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
