Unexploded

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

PROD removed with the puzzling reason that WP:MUSIC doesn't apply to the subject/article despite a discography, inclusion on soundracks, and musical genre categorization. I don't see anything here that indicates notability. Pigman ☿/talk 19:09, 3 January 2010 (UTC)


 * WP:MUSIC article 12 states "Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network." and that corresponds with the content of the article created "the same year Unexploded performed at Roskilde Festival's Pavillion stage, a concert that was transmitted live on national cable tv networks". Thus I see no reason for the article not having notability. Thanks. skincell ☿/talk 21:40, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Comment: I can't seem to find verifiable and reliable sources to show that Unexploded was actually broadcast on that particular national network show. I note that Roskilde_Festival indicates there were 8 different stages at the festival in 2005 and the Pavillion stage was one of the smallest ones. Did the broadcast include every one of the 160 bands that performed over the week? Also, please note this phrasing in WP:MUSIC "Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast..." (my emphasis) This is different from being included in a broadcast. No album, no singles (as such), some cuts on compilations, one performance at a huge weeklong festival with 8 stages... this is hardly a substantially notable career by Wikipedia standards in my opinion.

 * Weak keep. I do think that being the subject of a national broadcast requires significantly more than being on a national broadcast (cf. Behind the Music).  However, WP:MUSICBIO looks to whether the performer "[h]as been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works," and the sources provided in the article seem (just barely) to qualify.  I assume also that there would be more if I read Danish.   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 21:57, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Note: WP:MUSIC article 12 states "Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network." and that corresponds with the content of the article created "the same year Unexploded performed at Roskilde Festival's Pavillion stage, a concert that was transmitted live on national cable TV networks" with Unexploded as the sole subject of that live broadcast throughout the entire concert with a duration of approximately 45 minutes. To my knowledge there were between 10-20 full concerts with live broadcast that year of the 160 concerts all in all. While the Unexploded concert broadcast is a fact, I have no idea how to document a TV program/guide that is 4½ years old, when it can be difficult to even find what was shown yesterday on a selected TV channel.  skincell  ( talk ) 22:22, 3 January 2010 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.233.230.199 (talk)
 * I'm not really sure whether the current sources can be called 'significant coverage' enough to establish notability - but I'm not sure they can't, so no !vote for now (er, does 'no !vote' mean yes vote? Well, you know what I mean.) I agree with Glenfarclas that the Roskilde Festival appearance doesn't sound, from skincell's description, like being the subject of a broadcast as required by WP:MUSIC.

 * Ah, I've just read skincell's second post which I incorrectly thought was a duplicate of the other but says that Unexploded was the sole subject of the broadcast. I suppose if that's true it would meet WP:MUSIC, but I also have no idea how to verify it if it's not mentioned in any of the sources we have. I sympathise!
