Band with no substantive claim of passing WP:NMUSIC, written in an advertorial tone and citing only one album review for sourcing (which is not sufficient to constitute substantive coverage). No prejudice against recreation in the future if a good article can be written about them, but this version is a delete. Bearcat (talk) 21:56, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. An anon IP editor introduced the promotional text largely copied from the group's website. I have reverted it as copyvio to a better sourced version. • Gene93k (talk) 00:16, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've stricken the parts of my original nomination rationale which were impacted by that change. The reverted version still doesn't make a particularly strong claim of notability, however, and still isn't well sourced enough to demonstrate that the band has been the subject of substantive coverage — so I'm not prepared or willing to withdraw the entire nomination altogether.

• Keep BBC interview already cited, [Crack magazine] interview, [All about Jazz] album review, [Sage gateshead], [Bandonthewall] with quotes from the guardian, the mercury and the times, [The Telegraph], [London Jazz News] And on and on and on. This band are getting significant coverage all over the place SPACKlick (talk) 10:01, 15 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Specific reference to WP:NMUSIC,

1)Is satisfied with [The Guardian] and [The Telegraph] pieces. Both in depth, neither of them reprints of press releases.

2) Album has not charted although worth noting was on the worldwide jazz album of the year 2013. (nominated but did not win)

5) Label is at least 3 years old, with a couple of other acts, dubious notability although nat birchall gets a page on DE.Wikipedia

So I'm hanging my hat on 1), notable coverage sufficient to meet WP:GNG let alone WP:NMUSIC

• Keep. The refs above need adding to the article or it is likely to go to afd again. Szzuk (talk) 07:31, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
