Wille And The Bandits

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article, no evidence they pass WP:NMUSIC. Refs mostly passing mentions; many do not support the claims they are listed against. GNews mostly passing mentions. PROD removed without addressing issues. NMUSIC#4 is the closest they might come, if there were actually international reviews in RSes (that could be easily verified, because the sourcing so far is simply not trustworthy).

 * Keep - added some reliable sources to address the claims not being supported, some minor ce, and will work on expanding later with more refs that I think will satisfy GNG.-- Isaidnoway (talk)  17:41, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Pretty good! Can we turn up international reviews? 'Cos that'd nail NMUSIC #4 - David Gerard (talk) 19:21, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Did you ever turn these up? 'Cos at present it's cited to a Dutch blog and some local papers - David Gerard (talk) 13:42, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep, good amount of coverage in news websites. Well known on the live scene and covered and referred to often. The article here needs to be done properly. I'm more than satisfied on the notability of this group. Karl Twist (talk) 09:41, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * "Well known on the live scene and covered and referred to often" - if you have the cites for that, please put them in - David Gerard (talk) 09:50, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I just went on another cull of promotional language and bad sources. The sources are not good - the main sources are (1) a single CD review in a Dutch blog (2) local papers - David Gerard (talk) 13:33, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete -- does not meet WP:NBAND; sources are mostly local with the undertone of "local band does well" and not much else. This is run-of-the-mill coverage on an insignificant subject. Delete. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:35, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. NBAND#4 says "Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country" The Daily Telegraph article here states that "The band had spent several weeks on tour in Europe with appearances in Germany, Belgium and Switzerland." (confirmed here which also indicates that they've played Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight festival) whilst any Google search of "Wille and the bandits" live review" will give you multiple - albeit local - reviews of shows all around the UK. Here's a Dutch article in Blues Magazine previewing an upcoming show, and whilst I know a primary source isn't useful, look at their tour page - UK, Ireland, Switzerland and Germany, and some of those UK dates are at decent-sized venues (the Brudenell, 100 Club, Thekla etc.).  This is not your average non-notable band. Black Kite (talk) 09:56, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
