The Vinnys

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotionally toned article about a band with no strong claim of notability under WP:NMUSIC and no strong evidence of coverage in reliable sources: the article is far too dependent on the existence of social media profiles as a priori proof of notability (which it isn't), and the sourcing is far too dependent on routine concert listings, primary sourced verification of existence on the self-published websites of directly affiliated organizations and musical colleagues, and commercial sales platforms like iTunes and Amazon.com — and even the stuff which does count as media coverage leans far too heavily on college radio stations and smalltown community newspapers rather than sources of the type that would actually count for anything at all toward WP:GNG. This was tagged for prod by User:SwisterTwister about a month ago and deleted accordingly, but was recreated earlier today with no improvement in the notability or the sourcing over the deleted version — so I thought it better to take it to AFD this time. It also warrants mention that the article was originally created by User:Thevinnys, making it a WP:COI. It's still a delete. Bearcat (talk) 18:03, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
