X Factor 1

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

Procedural nom, as speedy and prod were declined. Aside from the fact that this article is currently written in a very promotional tone, the band itself does not appear to meet WP:MUSIC. The sources are minimal, and the band does not appear to have any major notability. Elonka 19:04, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete I declined the prod because I felt it was a borderline case. However, it seems a little "south of the border" in that the only source is a write up in their hometown paper, which is a level of notability that pretty much any band can attain if they've been around for a year or two. The claims of endorsement contracts are unsubstantiated, and the other sources and links are not reliable. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:43, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete - Good band, but only locally known. No real coverage in RS (Dispatch article was marginal and in their special local flavor section).  No prejudice against revisiting later, but not currently encyclopedic. Shell   babelfish 19:55, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, article fails to establish notability per WP:MUSIC. No reliable, third-party, sources.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 21:55, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
