Agent Moosehead[edit]

non notable, poorly sourced, external references do not establish notability and are cursory at best Jonathan Williams (talk) 19:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Some of the sources seem reliable (I've cleaned them up). The article needs some work but it salvagable. Martin^Msgj 15:32, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for cleaning up the sources; I'm pretty bad at that. I reskipped many of them and I could only see one if any that had any merit towards establishing notability (very short: http://www.uwishunu.com/2008/06/10/agent-moosehead-jazzes-it-up-at-northstar-this-thursday/ ). The rest seem to be offhand mentions in event listings that any band would receive in a local paper. If someone can find a substantive article that establishes notability per Wikipedia:Notability, it would go a long way towards improving the article. Self-published sources like Myspace and CDBaby are ok for addition detail though. --Jonathan Williams (talk) 15:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails our standards for bands; one "source" given is a link to a blog post by the band's bassist! --Orange Mike | Talk 21:47, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
