XX Teens

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Whilst their notability is asserted as well as possible given the young band, there is nothing in this group of articles which may indicate at how this band, or any of its "singles", meet the criteria set out in WP:MUSIC or WP:SONG. It is signed to a major independent record label, fine, and have been on the cover (only?) of a magazine... But they appear not to have been in a nation-wide tour, nor is their any proof offered that their singles have been placed on rotation by a national radio station? The sources and references are not independent of the band. Their singles are also nominated for deletion today (first nomination below) WP is not Myspace.

 * Keep passes WP:MUSIC,, , . Their song "Darlin'" was included in NME’s tracks of 2007 as well. Delete the non-notable songs & EP though (see below).   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 03:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plenty of significant independent coverage of the band exists. And no, they didn't just appear on the cover of ArtRocker: .--Michig (talk) 10:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * ...and they have just been on an extensive British tour - I just Googled "xx teens" tour dates - it was easy to find.--Michig (talk) 12:36, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - the band is notable. No opinion on their albums or songs though... --T-rex 14:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep looks as though they are notable enough. Smuckers It has to be good 14:58, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Being on the cover of a music magazine generally implies that the artist is the subject of the main feature within that magazine. Brilliantine (talk) 14:59, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, look for sourcing relating to 'xerox teens', as name was changed. Brilliantine (talk) 17:02, 2 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep per Esradekan. There are plenty of sources to be found on Google News, and at least one valid assertation of notability that I see. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells• Otter chirps • HELP!) 17:43, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - they were live in session on BBC Radio 1 last Monday. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carnoustie2008 (talk • contribs) 20:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
