I came across this as a speedy as a recreation of an AfD'd page. However the article does now have sources that it previously did not, as the prior version was unsourced. It's enough for it to squeak by speedy criteria, but the overall notability is still in question so I'm bringing it here. The article asserts that it was considered the best of a local magazine, but I don't know that this would be enough for it to pass NBAND. If anyone can find sourcing I'm open to withdrawing this.

  • Delete - Ah yes thanks for AfDing Tokyogirl79 as I put it aside for my plans and I still echo and confirm my original PROD: "Nothing to suggest fully satisfying bands notability guidelines as the Junofest mention is simply performing there, not an award, and my searches found nothing better than a few local passing mentions exactly what the currently listed sources are here, simply local weeklies.".

  • That's kind of what I figured. It was enough to where I was worried that it could possibly be restored through DRV, so I figured the safest bet here was to just go through AfD and get a new consensus. I doubt that anything will change. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:39, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and redirect to dreadnought as a {{R from misspelling}}. I found one review in Hollywood Music Magazine and a writeup on CBC Music, but I don't think it's enough to establish notability. Their writeups in the local papers only really mention that they played, which doesn't satisfy WP:NBAND, and they've opened for major acts but haven't themselves headlined on a national tour, which is generally a NBAND minimum requirement. They don't have a label, they haven't won or been nominated for any awards beyond local-level magazines, and their claim to fame of playing Manitoba Rocks isn't that impressive because that's really not a major show, it's just a show put on by a local radio station. Significant coverage of this band just isn't there. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 19:38, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
