This article has been twice deleted already and the article creator persists in remove the PRODs. To me, this appears to be just one of many small town bands with no particular notability. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 07:08, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - doesn't appear to pass WP:BAND—Dark 07:16, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]- Keep, however, this article should be further developed and should have been initially submitted as an Article for creation. I believe the article meets WP:BAND (notability criteria for musicians and ensembles) because the artist has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works that have appeared in reliable sources, independent from the musician himself, including the Stockton Record. Also, the artist has received non-trivial and verifiable coverage in independent, reliable sources of being featured in an international concert tour Big Day Out, in the year 2000. The artist has released multiple albums and is a prominent representative of his particular genre of music in various different cities, which is demonstrated by the substantial amount of press coverage in which he has received, such as the Riverfront Times. I am not the article's creator, however, I contributed to the article in order to help establish notability for the article. Therebelking (talk) 07:42, 31 December 2011 (UTC)User:Therebelking[reply]

Delete - doesn't appear to pass WP:BAND guidelines Katarighe (Talk · Contributions · E-mail) 15:30, 1 January 2012 (UTC)Keep - The article should be initially submitted as an Article for creation. I think the article has reilable sources and the artist has released albums for this band. --Katarighe (Talk · Contributions · E-mail) 19:03, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]- How does it not pass WP:BAND? An editor directly above, Therebelking (talk · contribs), offered with explanation his/her opinion that Savage Sun passes WP:BAND. Your opinion isn't valid unless you rebut his/her statements.

- Thank you for reconsidering your position. If you don't mind, I've added the text of your original comment to provide context for my comments. However, I note that Savage Sun is an artist, not a band. Goodvac (talk) 19:08, 1 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, but need to be developed in more detail. Savage Sun does seem to meet WP:BAND. Whoisjohngalt (talk) 17:11, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I agree that I should have started this article as an Article for Creation and submitted it for review. However, I didn't realize that by saving the article, that i was making it public, as I am still learning how to create pages and make contributions. My intention was to expand the article prior to making it public and had barely begun to do this when I accidentally made it public, at which time, it was marked as being considered for deletion.
