Nominated for db-band, but as the user has expanded the article since then, pre-emptively AFD nominating as it may no longer qualify for CSD.

Delete | TV talent show band, no releases. Their performance went semi-viral, and they have gotten PR appearances around, but WP:NMUSIC and Wikipedia:Notability_(Reality_Television_participants) (I know its a failed proposal, but it shows that they don't even meet the proposed standards for reality tv) Gaijin42 (talk) 17:38, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep | I believe this article does meet the criteria for WP:NMUSIC: "a musician or ensemble... may be notable if it... has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself". In addition to the PR appearances noted by the other user, they have been the subject of articles by major news outlets such as STV, The Belfast Telegraph, ITV Regional News, Metro and The Daily Mirror, entertainment websites such as Entertainmentwise and Telly Mix, and local newspapers. Although their progression to the semi-final stage has not been publicly announced, it should be noted that bookmakers are placing them as second favourites to win the competition and future appearances look highly likely --Rachelpadden (talk) 18:18, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Reality tv contestants that will disappear almost certainly. If they don't recreate at that time. Szzuk (talk) 17:14, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, there is coverage, but it's all related to the one set of appearances, hence WP:ONEEVENT applies I think. Can and should be recreated of course if they continue performing and gain additional coverage. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 01:26, 24 May 2014 (UTC).[reply]
