The result was   delete. despite two relists we seem no further forward and it seems to me that this sits in the discretionary zone. Since even the keep votes accepts the sourcing is below par I'm going to delete but am happy to userfy if anyone wants to reuse the material elsewhere Spartaz Humbug! 08:45, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Zoetrope Live Electronica

 * – ( View AfD View log )

not exactly a musical artist but fails WP:GNG. nothing in gnews, nor could i find anything but directory listings in google. . even less when I limited it to Australia only. not to be confused with American band Zoetrope (band). LibStar (talk) 02:24, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
 * keep this was one of the important outlets for Australian electronic & techno music - particularly Melbourne artists. I'm familiar with IF? Records and the majority of the bands/artists listed who played at these nights. it was at the Punters Club & this night also had ties with other well known Australian (Melb/Syd) collectives Clan Analogue and the well known Melbourne techno clubs like Teriyaki Anarki Saki. definitely of use to Australian electronic music researchers (note, in case COI: I'm working on an archive project outside of WP - mostly on Brisbane, but other parts of Aus are important for background). there's a couple of label profiles & interviews on AMO (Australian music online) as well as notice from my site (it's promo so couldn't be used here) via trove search. I thought there might be something on PANDORA (which Trove searches) as they like to archive Aus music sites but I could only find these two (I recall the label had a web crash at one stage). in any case, I think the existing references are RS and appropriate for this genre of music.

 * Delete. While this might very well have been important for Australian electronic music at the time (and I didn't know the Melbourne indie scene back then, so I don't know), the fact remains that there don't seem to be enough sources on the events themselves (as opposed to label IF? Records, which is definitely notable).  Thus, unfortunately the article in my view fails WP:V.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 22:12, 22 June 2011 (UTC).
