The Riot Before

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable band. No reliable sources. My request for speedy deletion was deleted though there are no claims of notablity in this article. Corvus cornix talk  00:14, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

 * With respect to the 'deleted' speedy deletion request: Given that WP:MUSIC considers two albums on a major indie label as notable, the released albums/EPs indicated in my eyes some importance to pass A7 and warrant further discussion. Otherwise, it would probably have been deleted as clear A7 in the almost two days that it was tagged.
 * Anyways, their albums seem to have been reviewed on e.g. AbsolutePunk, Sputnikmusic and elsewhere, but I am not that familiar with punk and what counts as reliable source. The current article is certainly not based on any sources and would need to be rewritten if kept. --Tikiwont (talk) 09:59, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - Does not appear to meet point 5 (or any other) of WP:BAND because... They have released three albums on labels that do not appear to be "a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of whom are notable)." Paper + Plastic have only been around a few years. The reviews written about them at AbsolutePunk and Sputnikmusic do not represent consistently verifiable sources as these sites include amateur content.
