 * Delete, agreed; no releases, just a list of gigs; does not meet the notability guideline. Inappropriate tone: The Vespas are a small town band thats, going places. They, are are, they? - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:13, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I see no indication of notability in the article. Shadowjams (talk) 10:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is an unsigned band with no coverage in reliable sources. Their main success has been winning a local radio contest to gain some airplay and are currently in a battle of the bands contest.  -- Whpq (talk) 18:33, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is an unsigned band, who has headlined a festival, has won numerous competitions, has been played on notable (enough to be on wikipedia) local (central scotland - big area) radio station l107, and has travelled across the uk, has had a review in YRock notable magazine as stated in guidelines. -- Craigster92 (talk) 18:51, 8 October 2009 (UTC) — Craigster92 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Comment - I don't see how this meets our guidelines. There's an assertion that they have headlined a festival.  But the festival is not named nor is there any sourcing to verify this.  By the way, headlining a festival is not going to establish notability if the festival itself is not notable.  Winning numerous competitions is not notable unless the competitions themselves are significant.  Their airplay came from winning a contest according to the article, so it is more in the way of a prize rather than establishing notability.  But in any event, some airplay on a single station isn't going to establish notability.  Finally, we have the review in Yrock.  According to their website, "YRock is a music promotions and development company which works with a wide range of musicians and artists at all levels. YRock runs gigs, workshops, and promotions across the UK whilst providing online reviews, support, and feedback via this website."  Material from a promotion company doesn't establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 18:38, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
