Trip (Band UK)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No evidence found of notability. They have contributed one song to a soundtrack, but no reliable independent source seems to have written about them, just passing mentions, unreliable sources, databases... We don't even have an article for the soundtrack as a whole, so a redirect target doesn't seem to be available. Fram (talk) 10:16, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete – After performing several various, in-depth customized source searches to compensate for the generic name of the band, finding no significant coverage in reliable sources, just directory listings and the most minor of passing mentions. The band existed, but it is not notable per Wikipedia's standards. North America1000 10:30, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Further TV appearances have been added. The Columbia Tristar movie is still widely available (and Terry Gilliam is still a creative force) and the band appear in the credits.
 * Notability cannot solely be attributed to internet sources. The band have a chapter in Oliver Gray's book 'Volume'.
 * I shall try and find a link/specific mention for your records. NedRifle (talk) 13:24, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

 * When he directs me to an online archive or link I shall include it. NedRifle (talk) 14:02, 25 July 2022 (UTC)


 * The majority of articles on this band were in the print media. Archives of which are hard to trace.
 * The band's T-shirts were worn by other bands (notably EMF) and I am trying to track down the 'Melody Maker, April 20, 1991 which has pictorial evidence.
 * Further TV appearances have been added. The movie (The Fisherking) is still widely available and the band appear in the credits.
 * Notability cannot solely be attributed to internet sources. The band have a chapter in Oliver Gray's book 'Volume'.

 * Delete - NedRifle is trying very hard to find evidence that the band was notable, but the problem is sources that are not only reliable but also discuss the band in a significant fashion. I perused the YouTube links and it is true that the band was profiled on BBC a few times, but in brief "local band done good" segments and allusions in pieces that were actually about The Fisher King. They were mentioned in the book Volume by Oliver Gray but that book is about Gray's life and The Trip is mentioned as a band he saw back in the day. If their singer was on the cover, that is equivalent to a personal modeling gig and does nothing for the band. They are not mentioned in the Guardian article that is cited, their producer is. I simply cannot find any of that significant coverage that goes into serious depth about the band themselves instead of people/things that they were associated with. The magazine articles that NedRifle is hunting down will probably be more of the same. Sorry, the band came kind of close but no cigar. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
