Wake Up Call (band)

Marginal assertion of notability (though not backed by sources), so not eligible for CSD. Still fails WP:MUSIC. Recommend Delete. //  Chris  (complaints) • (contribs) 02:05, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Bdsguitarist (talk) 02:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC) This article is written about a band that fits some of the criteria from the Notability and Music Guidlines for encyclopedia pages.

1. Wake Up Call has won a few local battle of bands since entering the scene. 2. Wake Up Call has been featured on broadcasted radio stations. 3. Wake Up Call is changing the Omaha scene, rather than having hardcore metal music ruling, it has brought back the essence of mid-90's rock.

There is no reason for the article Wake Up Call(band) to be deleted.

 * Delete--band is not notable: needs records and independent third-party reviews. Drmies (talk) 02:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - Besides a lack of references fulfilling the requirement of multiple non-trivial resources, it has been a past precedent that winning a "battle of the bands" or similar competitions does not demonstrate notability. Trusilver  02:52, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, a huge lack of reliable sources to prove why this garage band even gets close to meeting WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 13:42, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. 1) Winning a "Battle of the Bands" context means nothing. 2) Has it been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network? That's the minimum to pass the WP:BAND criteria by radio play. It's not claimed in the article, and it would need links to reliable sources to prove it. 3) Totally subjective. Unless you can find significant press coverage expressing this view of their importance, it's meaningless. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 23:38, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

A7xbass (talk) 00:59, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Wake Up Call is keeping a genre of music alive in a diverse music scene which has produced bands the likes of 311, Bright Eyes, the Faint, and Grasshopper Takeover. They are popular among locals and several other bands that do not yet have national recognition, such as Venaculas, are permitted to maintain their page. Wikipedia is a valuable source of mass media and Wake Up Call should be permitted to maintain their page.


 * Comment: WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Just because an article has not been deleted yet, it doesn't necessarily follow that another article of similar quality should not be deleted. In addition, the fact that their local scene is diverse and has produced bands that are notable does not mean that they themselves are notable. And any claims to notability must be supported by reliable sources. We're not going to take anybody's word for it without evidence. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 20:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
