Fails notability criteria laid out by WP:MUSIC. The band mentioned is a local band from Rochester, New York, composed of a few kids from the Eastman School of Music. The only mention given in the article is by the Democrat and Chronicle, Rochester's local newspaper. While the band claims to be sponsored by Red Bull, nothing exists to support this claim.[1] Additionally, no other significant coverage exists.[2] CA387 02:24, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Break of Reality is now based in NYC and has preformed shows across the country. A google search returns 9300 results of which the first 3 pages are almost entirely related to the band and are from varying sources and outlets. In addition the article has been submitted and vetted by the clean up task force. Just my 2 cents mcwiggin 03:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A search for "'Break of Reality' -Wikipedia" returns 915 results, not 9300.[3] Of these, none of them meet the criteria for inclusion under WP:MUSIC. --CA387 05:58, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment No one vets articles on Wikipedia, and even if this were the case the clean up task force wouldn't be making decisions about notability. We check spelling and punctuation. Natalie 06:47, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The Democrat and Chronicle is a reliable source. There's nothing wrong with it being a Rochester newspaper. And there are several articles in Rochester City Newspaper. See the list at http://www.rochestercitynewspaper.com/search/?cx=004748461628237154377%3Adzq_-dlyh7e&q=%22Break+of+Reality%22&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A11#946 --Eastmain 07:35, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Actually, I'll take that back—I think that a mention in the Democrat and Chronicle would still constitute "trivial coverage". It certainly doesn't fit with the rest of the spirit of WP:MUSIC. --CA387 15:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep. This band appears to have been mentioned in their local newspaper somewhat and thus seems to meet criteria #1 for inclusion under WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles, unless local newspapers don't count. However, the band also seems to meet criteria #7 for inclusion under WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles. --Leon Sword 18:59, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Definite keep - Factiva returns 2 non-trivial mentions of this band. Edward Ortiz (12 June 2007). "Cello quartet rocks New Directions fest". The Sacramento Bee. p. E3. (530 words), and 4 paragraphs in New York, New York, edited by valerie block, 4 June 2007 from Crain's New York Business page 6, Volume 23; Number 23. Far from deletable under CSD A7, and far from deletable under WP:MUSIC. Resurgent insurgent 13:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
