Bearforce 1[edit]

Procedural listing. Article was speedily deleted as CSD A7. This was overturned on Deletion Review because an assertion of importance (albeit weak) was made. Unclear if article meets WP:BAND. Some sources may be available in Dutch as cited in the course of the DRV. IronGargoyle (talk) 00:00, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - "popular amongst many blogs" is not a claim of notability. --T-rex 03:42, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A few good sources have now turned up --T-rex 15:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:MUSIC criterion #1 – The band has received plenty of coverage (in languagues other than English mostly; need some translation action here) and even a mention in The Washington Post. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 04:48, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete as non-notable. -- JediLofty ^User_Talk 09:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you be willing to expand on that? See WP:JNN. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 04:03, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per T-rex, I am afraid I'm not seeing the notability required by WP:MUSIC, only trivial mentions. JBsupreme (talk) 05:27, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "Trivial", according to WP:MUSIC, means something akin to a directory listing. This article in the Trouw is not trivial. This article in De Pers is not trivial. This one in De Telegraaf is not trivial. This one in Sp!ts is not trivial. There's this article from the Spanish newspaper Córdoba. The Washington Post article is brief, but it's non-trivial.

- ...in which case I stand corrected. Switching to KEEP in light of the references provided directly above. JBsupreme (talk) 06:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Seems to scrape by, though I'm not sure about the appropriateness or encyclopedic value of the quote from the Washington Post. GlassCobra 20:39, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
