Wonder Stories (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Questionably notable and it definitely seems there is no better coverage for the band as the best I found was this and as for Keanan Duffty (which I am also co-nominating), the best I found was this, this, this this] and this so although his article is somewhat larger and detailed, he's also questionably notable.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep Keanan Duffty - no comment on the band article, as I know nothing about music and won't go anywhere near it, but I've definitely heard of the designer. Incidentally, please could you link to actual articles rather than the page of Google results, as I don't think we see the same results you do - I click through and often can't work out which results I'm supposed to be looking at. From the page refs, among the (wince) YouTube links, I see multiple articles in Women's Wear Daily (a good indicator that he's significant in his field, as WWD is a leading daily fashion paper). A peek at Highbeam pullls up 93 articles for his name, from 1999 through to 2012, many of which on a quick scan through are focused on him, his career, and what he's up to at that point in time. For example, I see a 2006 article devoted solely to a collaboration with Target and the responses to his designs, and a 2001 article discussing (over several paragraphs) what happened when Duffty and Reebok collaborated on a shoe show. A 2005 article with plenty of editoral commentary on the progress of his design career up to that point, before entering into an interview with him. And plenty more material. There is definitely more than enough coverage on the designer, and given the extent and level of that coverage, I wouldn't be surprised if the band passes notability too, but I can't comment on that.
