The result of the debate was delete. It appears that the keep voters may have had a different, more notable 411 band in mind, and this one does not meet WP standards of notability. —Cleared as filed. 02:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

411 (band)

Don't see anything that meets notability under WP:MUSIC Nv8200p talk 20:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. 411 is a very popular band in the United States, and should be of sufficient importance to have an article. -Rory096 20:40, 23 January 2006 I thought this was 311, my mistake. Rory096 01:29, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. The band 411 is notable and popular. --Lockley 21:07, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep The band does have an allmusic reference, just not an extensive one. (aeropagitica) 21:17, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak Delete~~. Weak Delete and Redirect to The 411. If they were notable, I would think that they would show up on more than just a few Wikipedia mirrors.[1] — TheKMan^talk 23:49, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because it got an article/interview from the BBC [2], which meets the needs of WP:MUSIC. It's the first google hit on 411 band, so this article should be kept and rewritten to reflect the notable British band. I didn't see the disambig on the page when I looked and rewrote this entry. Redirect to The 411. --badlydrawnjeff 14:49, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak keep~~ Redirect per badlydrawnjeff Youngamerican 17:03, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just a note that the 411 in the current article is not the same 411 Badlydrawnjeff was speaking about. — TheKMan^talk 18:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The 411. I suspect that the keep voters may have had the more notable band in mind. Chick Bowen 02:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't appear that The 411 is the same as the band we're discussing, as The 411 is made up of women and is British, while the 411 in this article is male and from California. -Rory096 05:15, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. WP:MUSIC guideline is two albums; they had one. Unless they had an international tour, major venues, heavy rotation, awards, etc. But no sign of that in the article or in a quick Google lookup. Unless Dan O'Mahony is notable. But he's redlinked. And he first comes up at the fourteenth spot on Google, behind a Dan O'Mahony who is a library staffer at Brown University, and several other Dan O'Mahonys. Do NOT make it a redirect, there are already articles 411 and 411 (disambiguation). Herostratus 01:51, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
