Whitfield (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Band with no strong claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable sourcing. The only claims of notability here are awards of purely local significance, such as the Toronto Independent Music Awards, which are not "major" enough to constitute a pass of NMUSIC #8, and the only reference present is one of those awards' own self-published website about itself -- and the article hasn't been updated with any indication of more notable activity since 2007. And there's a probable conflict of interest here too, as the creator's username was "Joel Bastedo" and one of the band members has the surname Bastedo. As always, Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which a band is entitled to have an article just because they existed -- certain specific quantifiable achievements that satisfy WP:NMUSIC need to be shown, and a certain standard of reliable sourcing has to carry it, for an article to become earned.
