Contested prod: Non notable band, fails WP:MUSIC, has yet to publish their first album (and on what label?). No independent resources, the 55 distinct google hits for single file plus my best defense[1] give no more info. No more info or confirmation of the Ed Rose connection (32 distinct Google hits, most from myspace[2]) Fram 20:22, 11 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: could you specify to what info you refer? The only thing I'm aware of is AMG, and that is hardly enough to be deemed notable. I still don't see how this band meets WP:MUSIC in a verifiable way (the long post by the band, while possibly correct, is not verifiable: no major reviews, no major releases, no important awards, chartings, ...: all wehave is a tour that has apparently gone completely unnoticed by the music press). Fram 09:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - the AMG thing was a big factor. It is deemed a reliable source insomuch as it can be used in the "Reviews" section of an album infobox, therefore it should be deemed worthy of at least hinting at notability. Don't get me wrong, this is still a borderline case, hence the weak keep. Bubba hotep 09:52, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Allright, the AMG article is indeed their strongest claim. Fram 10:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
CommentI don't care about myspace, and "Asylum magazine" for the moment is a myspace only "magazine" which hopes to get a printable version, and later to get on the magazine racks... [3]. So, still no verifiable sources, no reviews, ... 20:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

After that they then have up to present time promoted five national tours (250 out-of-state shows). They did this all themselves seeking no outside help.
Driving around the country by yourself and playing at random bars does not count as a "national tour". They don't list the names of any of their venues. They claim to have played 250 out-of-state gigs, but that's entirely unverifiable. We don't know a thing about them: their mobius-website leads right back to their myspace.
By the way, MySpace is not, has never been, and will never be a reliable source for anything! It doesn't matter if they have four million friends on MySpace, that just means they know where the "add to friends" button is. This is the second time this week I've seen a MySpace defense of a band's notability on AfD; if the best source for a band is MySpace, that's a pretty clear indicator that the article should be deleted.
And as for Warped Tour, playing stage two at a music festival does not count as having a national tour.
Fails notability standards and verifiability policy. - Che Nuevara 06:04, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The first source (denver.yourhub.com) is a user submission site, so not reliable according to WP:V. The second one (campuuscircle.net) seems borderline, I'll let other people decide that one. I have not seen the confirmation that they are "headlining on their latest tour", and airplay on one radio station fails WP:MUSIC, just like one (to be released) album. Thanks for adding the sources, but to me they still are not notable enough. Fram 08:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
True, technically, but in this case, where are the verifiable concert reviews? They were booked on the Warped tour (played apparently 2 concerts in 2005, and an unknown number in 2006), and none of their performances has been noticed in the professional music press or in the mainstream press. And being reported is explicitly included in the "national tour" line of WP:MUSIC, so they still fail that... Fram 13:16, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You can always recreate the article when the band gets more notable or when notabiltity is verified. I don't think a "no consensus" is correct when the current consensus is clearly going to delete. Fram 20:35, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Two things. One, the yourhub article, I believe, was published in some print source, which I'm still trying to track down (I don't live in Denver). Two, If you check the 8 Most Wanted on KTCL's webpage for this week, Single File is #7. [4] So, if I can exhume the yourhub article, that's three sources asserting national exposure (which meets criterion 3 of WP:MUSIC), and two sources asserting rotation on a major national ClearChannel station (which meets criterion 11 of WP:MUSIC). I'm willing to continue to look into this to try and find other sources; since the article is already here, and someone is actively working on verification, isn't it better to just say Wikipedia is not paper, slap an unsourced tag on the page, and close the AfD pending further research? Just to pose the flip side of the coin, we can always come back in a few weeks and delete it if nothing comes up. Chubbles1212 00:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Criterion 11 is: "Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network." Being played in Denver <> rotation nationally, so it does clearly not meet criterion 11. Fram 06:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What constitutes a major radio network, if not being in rotation on a high-wattage ClearChannel station in a city with a metro population of two million plus? Chubbles1212 06:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
KTCL is one radio station from a major radio network, not a complete network. If it would be in rotation across similar Clear Channel stations across the USA, then it would be "played in rotation nationally by any major radio network". Now it is "played regionally by one radio station of a major radio network". I hope the difference is clear. Fram 06:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

i find it funny how much effort is going into this. a fan notified us of this pending deletion; i'd be happy to clear things up. you can be the judge (national vs. "bar band").

In the past 2+ years we've been a full-time band, we've pulled off the following:

-6 US tours,over 300 shows and counting -Completed ALL of 2006 Vans Warped Tour -Completed 2 weeks of 2005 Vans Warped Tour -All tours completely self-booked and promoted -Nearly 1.4 million plays on myspace.com (over 10,000 plays daily) -Nearly 48,000 friends on myspace.com -Featured artist on myspace.com twice in a single year -Shared the stage with such acts as Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, The Gym Class Heroes, Waking Ashland, Sherwood, The Higher, The Summer Obsession, The Afters, Over It, and many more.
