Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers[edit]

Non-notable band. A couple of EPs and albums either self-released or on a local minor label. Some local coverage (what's hip in Detroit, a college radio station), but no evidence of any major accomplishments to meet the requirements of WP:BAND.

Non-notable band Criteria 9: "Has won or placed in a major music competition." Joe Hertler & the Rainbow Seekers placed in the Guitar Center Singer Songwriter 2 Contest. This contest was nationwide, had over $50,000 or prize money, national promotion, and was judged by Grammy award winning producer John Shanks

Comment I think the Guitar Center competition would be hard-pressed to count among "major music competitions". I could be wrong; show me the significant independent media coverage (i.e. coverage published by sources not associated with either the band or the competition) that arose from this award, and I may be swayed.

Delete. I'm not finding significant coverage in reliable sources for this act; does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND at this time. Gong show 17:58, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 20:49, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This article does not appear to even meet the GNG, much less any more specific guideline. T C N7JM 15:55, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
