The Venetian (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A non-notable band that depends on references to blogs and social media. Fails WP:NBAND. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:11, 8 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. A band that with no big label behind was able to reach millions of views on youtube and getting coverage in newspapers and online magazines (On May 27th, 2011 the band had an interview in the Long Beach Press Telegram). Win WP:NBAND. imnotsureiknow (talk) 01:23, 8 May 2014 (EST)

 * Comment. Sorry, guys, but The Examiner is not a reliable source. It's blacklisted.  You can't even add it to a Wikipedia article.  And one local newspaper isn't going to establish notability.  You're going to have to show better than blogs and a local newspaper. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:45, 9 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment. How about the fact that when he was a session player he recorded with artists such as Morgan Ågren, Marco Minnemann (http://rejectionaryart.bandcamp.com/releases) among others and the fact that some of his videos reached so many people on YouTube? I could understand The Examiner but YouTube is pretty legit. imnotsureiknow (talk) 10:20, 9 May 2014 (EST)
 * Delete - I'm unable to find sufficient coverage in independent reliable sources for this act; does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC at this time.  Gongshow   talk  03:15, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. Lacks coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. No charting, rotation, gold. nothing satisfying WP:BAND. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:08, 12 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. This band has been interviewed just few days ago by Telemundo and US Al Jazeera. Also two of his videos were featured on NME.com last year. WP:NBAND. davepaint86 (talk) 07:00, 16 May 2014 (PT)
