They may make it one day, but as of yet they do not come close to matching the requirements at WP:BAND Nuttah (talk) 17:59, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have added several references that prove coverage in reliable, independent sources. They have also been played on national radio stations, including being on the playlist on XFM. - mspete93 20:09, 5 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep They may 'make it one day'? They've already made it. RADIO ONE COVERAGE!30,000 hits on Youtube! About to start a headline tour! Played at several major festivals last summer!
Morning Parade have been together for two years now. They have many popular songs including Marble Attic and A&E which have received lots of praise from sites such as Gigwise. They have also released their debut single 'Under the Stars' which has got air time of major British radio stations, including BBC Radio 1. This clearly shows that they have indeed 'made it'. Their eagerly awaited album is due to be released shortly.
Furthermore, they have played at many major festivals, including Latitude, Newquay and Underage. The Maccabees have also played at these festivals. Would you propose the deletion of The Maccabees page?
Finally the sources provided by mspete are very reliable and clearly show that Morning Parade are a notable band.Fryertuk (talk) 14:22, 6 December 2010 (UTC) — Fryertuk (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep. Coverage is easily enough for notability.--Michig (talk) 17:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- Firstly, as other people have already said, there is sufficient evidence here to show that they are notable. Secondly, Wikipedia is supposed to be a free source of information that anyone can add to and share on in order to learn new things. Seeing as Morning Parade are a real and now reasonably established band, doesn't it contradict the point of Wikipedia to delete their page?

Keep- The idea that this page should be deleted is laughable. I turned on Absolute Radio and guess who should be playing- the very band in question!They were played by Geoff Lloyd who even said that they ahd been played on the station many times before. Clearly a significant band. Oppqu (talk) 19:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC) — Oppqu (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment Currently the only in depth coverage in a reliable source is the MTV interview, other than that it is gig listings and blogs (or the BBC reference that does not mention the band). I'm still not seeing the coverage WP:GNG or WP:BAND expects. Nuttah (talk) 21:52, 6 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

keep- I believe that this article on Morning Parade should not be deleted. Firstly Wikipedia isn't just about producing pages for the well known acts/people that everyone has heard of, its about letting everyone know and learn about new acts, such as Morning parade. This page deserves to stay on the internet for all to see. They have been praised for their achievements on the likes of the BBC/MTV, and have played at many well known British festivals. If Morning Parade shouldn't be allowed to have an article about them, then who can?

I understand that this page is simple and not yet finished, but soon it will have more references and be written in more depth. Morning Parade is a popular band by many and deserve to stay on Wikipedia. I see no reason why it should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oppqu (talk • contribs) 19:33, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
