The Revolution Smile
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Between these four articles, there is but one reference, and it is to a profile on the band from MTV which is a dead link (archive). Beyond that, I could only find brief pieces on the band (MTV newspiece; one-sentence album review from Spin) which don't impress much. The band does have multiple notable members (Shaun Lopez and Tim McCord), apparently multiple releases with Geffen Records, and per the page they received plenty of high profile coverage, but I didn't see any evidence of that in my search so it doesn't help much. Perhaps this is more a call for a search party than a proper AfD because I can't imagine any editor would lie about that coverage existing, but if we can't find it then I think we're left without a choice but to delete.

 * Worth noting that there have been two previous AfDs on this band. The first ended with a keep based on apparent notability, though that was 2006 and the standards have certainly be raised since. The second, from 2008, included a bunch of articles, some of which (including this one) were kept while others may have been merged, though the closing statement isn't entirely clear on that. At the very least, there is some precedent in this band's favor. QuietHere (talk &#124; contributions) 10:25, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak keep as there is an AllMusic staff written bio here and an album review here. I haven't done a full search yet, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep moving to full keep as apart from the AllMusic sources identified above ive found the following reliable sources coverage at IGN here, Punk News here, Ink19 here, MTV here, CMJ here and here. There may be more newspaper coverage as I don't have access to paywalled services but I think there is enough coverage for a pass of WP:GNG in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 20:09, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep: Per A306's sources. C LYDE TALK TO ME/STUFF DONE 01:00, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
