The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band[edit]

Prod removed twice, really a procedural nomination for deletion, although I'm struggling to find notability for the band, despite the article being in reasonable condition. The Rambling Man 19:27, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I created the article, and have only removed the "prod" once, and that only after adding a "Notability" section. They might not be considered notable by the standards of Top 40 pop music, but in the much smaller world of acoustic blues music, they are reasonably well known. I'll see the band in concert on April 26th, and I can get a lot more media references from them including the name of the television program they provided music for. K8 fan

Comment - all I suggest is making sure the article meets WP:MUSIC by verifying the subject notability using reliable sources. Do that and this AfD will result in a keep. The Rambling Man 20:04, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional keep. I'm going to assume that K8 fan there can get the references, so I'd like to assume good faith and figure that s/he will do exactly this. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:18, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A mildly locally-successful band on a home label and one NPR appearance does not establish notability in my book. MySpace has plenty of room to list all the bands of the world... - BierHerr 01:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have documentation of shows in Italy and Switzerland. If all their shows were only in the Indianapolis area, they've be a local band. But they play all over the United States. K8 fan 04:03, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My yodeling friend Shirley has yodeled professionally in Germany and the U.S., but I still don't think she is worthy of a Wikipedia article. (I'm not being sarcastic... I really do have a yodelling friend named Shirley! :) ) Regards, BierHerr 21:09, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep The sat radio combined with NPR appearance should be enough for notability. -- Monty845 03:16, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - surprisingly, they PASS WP:MUSIC, unlike most groups nominated here. (I'm no fan, BTW, I've never even heard og them.) — CJewell (talk to me) 07:49, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment They do? The only criteria they kinda meet is #10 - Rotation on a major music station... but they were played on Satellite radio, which is known for playing obscure artists because they have so many stations to fill... - BierHerr 13:56, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but we probably shouldn't have a separate section titled "notability". Ab e g92Hokies! 10:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to do a major re-write after the 26th. K8 fan 16:14, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I live an hour north of Indy, and I've never heard of these guys. Even if they are local, they aren't very well known. --Cyrus Andiron 12:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
