The vintage chimps


Appears to be a band of minor note, not passing WP:MUSIC - unsigned, 23 unique Google hits for band name, only credible references are a couple of brief BBC local news articles (e.g. ). ~Matticus TC 10:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. As far as I can tell, this doesn't meet any of the points at WP:MUSIC, and the band certainly hasn't achieved any great deal of notability. Daveydw ee b ( chat/review! ) 11:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. MER-C 11:50, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. This band should not be deleted.  Are currently recording an album for release next year once demos are submitted to label. records in America, subsequent tour next year, and members have toured with David Ford, Duke Spirit, Dogs Die In Hot Cars, Si Connelly, and tour managed the latter.  Also, featured artist on Ween.net three years ago.  Band recently reformed and www.thevintagechimps.co.uk bought for subsequent development. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.145.226.70 (talk • contribs)
 * Comment. Okay then, that information needs to be sourced and added to the article. This will strengthen a case for keeping. However, forthcoming releases and tours, unless they're officially confirmed and verifiable by a press release or similar, can't really be counted towards notability (Wikipedia is not a crystal ball - editors should write about things that are notable already, not things that might be notable next year). You say they haven't even sent demos out to the record labels yet - how can they be sure they will get signed and this album and tour will go ahead? As I say, their notability is open to debate, which is why I took this to AfD instead of an outright CSD-A7 deletion, and if some other claims to notability besides those already written about are unearthed as a result, so much the better. ~Matticus TC 17:04, 21 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete The only notability asserted is unsourced. Likely fail WP:BAND on all fronts. -- Kicking222 21:19, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, none of the points raised by 217.145.226.70 have any bearing on Notability (music), the relevant guideline here. The arguments might be relevant to the question of whether this band might be notable in the future, but as an answer to the question of whether the band is notable now, they fall completely flat.
