Already previously deleted A7 (Band), this recreation fails to meet WP:BAND. The supplied references to this underground band, although in notable newspapers, do not provide significant cover establishing notability for this unsigned, uncharted band. Other sources are basic review listings. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 22:28, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The Babies are a nationally known band. They have toured nationally and internationally as a solo act and as an opener for such bands as: Guided By Voices, Wavves, Titus Andronicus (band), Best Coast, Times New Viking, Real Estate, and Yuck (band). They are clearly part of the indie rock establishment. They have been reviewed by Pitchfork media which is seen as a gatekeeper to notability in the independent music community. They are talked about in detail in notable News sources: The New York Times, New York Magazine and The New York Observer. Two members of The Babies are members of the bands Vivian Girls and Woods (band). The article for the band is justified.Thriley (talk) 23:07, 18 May 2012 (UTC)`[reply]
Keep WP:BAND says that a band is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.. The Babies has articles about it in the New York Times, New York (magazine), and New York Observer, which are reliable sources. I despise garage band articles, but based on the references, this band is definitely notable. NJ Wine (talk) 00:48, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
