Wild Palms (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article (re-)created in violation of WP:COI guideline, likely by label One Little Indian employee. May be sufficiently notable (or may be not), but I think it is better to wait for the article to be created without conflict of interest. Delete —Kusma (t·c) 13:42, 17 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notable enough. The article seems fairly neutral, although it could use a lot of work. Coverage from The Quietus, Clash, The List, The Skinny, Uncut, Q, NME, Mojo, Huffington Post, and The Gazette, among others, could be used to improve the article. --Michig (talk) 08:33, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Appears to fail WP:BAND for noteworthiness. Tiggerjay (talk) 22:31, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
 * That is clearly not the case. --Michig (talk) 06:53, 20 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete for now as I'm simply not seeing as much coverage there could be and the best my searches found was this. SwisterTwister   talk  07:20, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You only found the first page of a Google search? --Michig (talk) 07:34, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Might help if you put the band name and the member name in quotes to cut out irrelevant results. e.g. search for "wild palms" "lou hill". --Michig (talk) 07:40, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep per Michig. I'm finding in-depth coverage that could be used to fill out the article. Andreas JN 466 16:33, 20 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment and weak keep: Actually for whatever reason this article was recreated; the original article was tagged by me as a G12, (copyvio): and an admin deleted it under that same QD reason. An admin who can see these details could verify.  I see no reason to delete for a conflict of interest and this version does not seem to have been blatently copied from another's writing.

 * Keep. The fact that the article creator has a COI is not sufficient reason in itself to delete. If the previous version of the article was deleted for copyvio, that shouldn't prejudice the current version so long as it contains no text copied from elsewhere. Now, I only looked at the first page of results for the string ["Wild Palms" "Ex Lion Tamers]" but even that yielded three sources (all themselves notable) which support notability:
 * Combined with the other sources Michig mentioned it looks like more than enough to meet the notability standard, even the more specific guideline for bands. I am already working on other articles Trincres17 (another employee of One Little Indian records) created or wished to have created; perhaps Michig and I can work together to help the Wild Palms (band) article better meet Wikipedia standards. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 12:34, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
