Souvenir (indie rock band)

I am requesting deletion of this page because the band is not notable per WP:MUSIC. In addition, the page reads like an advertisement and there are no secondary sources for the band on its article page. Tavix (talk) 20:04, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Searching for "Souvenir" is obviously going to bring back lots of hits that are not about the band, but allmusic has an entry with 2 reviews. They have been around for 9 years and released 4 studio albums in Europe, the US, and Japan. I've tidied the article up and will improve it further later. The article should really be moved to Souvenir (band).--Michig (talk) 20:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - They meet WP:MUSIC's 5th requirement: Released two or more albums. A websearch turns up a lot of reviews and the Spanish Wikipedia knows them too[1]. ~~SIS~~ 21:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot the second part of requirement 5: Has released two or more albums on a major label. How many of their albums were on a major label? Try zero. Tavix (talk) 21:32, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it asks for "two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." - Shelflife looks like it might fit that bill. Jabalina is a Spanish label that has been around for 15 years, with a long list of releases, and should also fit that bill.--Michig (talk) 21:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't "forget" that part, I didn't quote it because it was irrelevant. As Michig has just explained above. (Thanks, Michig!) ~~SIS~~ 21:51, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Reviewed on Allmusic, which is a reliable source. Strummer25 (talk) 22:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've added a reference to a review in Stylus Magazine (chosen by the Observer Music Monthly as one of the Internet's 25 most essential music websites), so the article now has evidence of coverage from multiple independent reliable sources.--Michig (talk) 08:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
