The Salteens

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No references, just external links to profiles and their website. No secondary source, reliable, independent significant coverage found. Jay Σεβαστός discuss  22:15, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Also note that there is at least one article concerning an album of theirs which appears to have had equally insignificant (if not even less) coverage, Grey Eyes. It will either need to be CSDed per A9 if the result of this discussion is delete, or sent to afd if the result of this is keep for its own discussion.

 * Keep. In addition to the coverage found on albums articles there is also  -  -  -  - . duffbeerforme (talk) 12:35, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've just added 11 citations to the article (including one from duffbeerforme):  the National Post is behind a pay wall.  I didn't add this one  from the Vancouver Sun.  There is more than enough evidence that the article meets WP:BAND numbers 1, 5, and 11.  I didn't get around to citing the WP:BAND 10 claim.  P.S. Feel free to bring the articles to an Afd.  However, Exclaim! has reviewed them along with some of the other references I've added to this article.  Argolin (talk) 02:10, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep – It's difficult to understand how commentators here say that there is no independent significant coverage. Other coverage includes:
 * Sperounes, Sandra (May 30, 2003). "Salteens lose none of their taste after Bradfield departs", Edmonton Journal, p. E12.
 * Burliuk, Greg (June 12, 2003). "Salteens a 'fourth generation' pop band", Kingston Whig-Standard, p. 31.
 * Weingarten, Marc (June 13, 2003). "Listen 2 this", Entertainment Weekly, p. 97.
 * Skelton, Caroline (June 30, 2004). "Salteens revel in simple, fun songs", Victoria Times-Colonist, p. D10.
 * And so on... Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 03:36, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Paul Erik, Argolin, and WP:HEY. Plenty of good sources exist for WP:GNG, in addition to those added already. Bearian (talk) 20:02, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
