The result was delete.  Closing this early. I think it's a pretty obvious result here - classic WP:BAND and WP:COI violations, resulting a a flurry of WP:CSD articles and blocks all round. Hurrah! Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 22:56, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

The Silver Movement

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Seems to be a non-notable band with no significant coverage in the mainstream media. No indication of national or international tours, no chart hits. Polly (Parrot) 17:28, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

This artist has iTunes releases and is on an indie label. Just because they didn't chart or tour doesn't make them insignificant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Audiomixxer1123 (talk • contribs) 17:31, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Just a promotional vanity page. No notability and nothing significant - no refs. Parkerparked (talk) 19:53, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Few independent ghits, I've found no evidence that it satisfies anything on WP:BAND. Getting distribution on iTunes is a step in the right direction, but not enough by itself. Matt Deres (talk) 00:16, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This is totally wrong. So you are telling me that because this artist has just been VERY successful locally, it's not good enough. And because he has been featured MULTIPLE times on iTunes, it's not good enough. First of all to all at WikiPedia, get your facts straight. As a representative for The Silver Movement, I know more about them then any of you do. This page belongs here. Audiomixxer1123 (talk) 15:01, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Above comment sealed it for me. Representatives don't get to edit Wikipedia, that's a conflict of interest. Of course you think it belongs here if you're being paid in currency or in kind by them. Would also recommend blocking the SPA. Chase me ladies, I&#39;m the Cavalry (talk) 17:24, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, doesn't appear to meet notability standards for a band.  Nakon  17:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This band has been very successful. Does anyone have a fair say in ANY content input? As mentioned before this artist has been interviewed from an INDEPENDENT SOURCE as well as make their way on to iTunes. Does that not account for any success or notoriety?

 * Five unrelated people have expressed concerns about the article. I would consider that to be a rather fair assessment. Nakon  17:40, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - see WP:BAND. Prodego  talk  17:42, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Note The article The Silver Movement Discography should probably have been co-nominated along with this one. Matt Deres (talk) 20:21, 5 July 2009 (UTC) Hmm, also The Voice Within (The Silver Movement album), Distant Love - Single, Sleepless Beauty - Single, I Kissed A Girl - Single (a re-direct to the album), and Trouble In The Moshpit - Single. If the band doesn't meet WP:NOTE then none of these do either. Matt Deres (talk) 20:31, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
