At Last (band)[edit]

Fails all 12 criteria of WP:BAND. It could be argued that #9 might apply but America's Got Talent is hardly a "major music competition," rather it's a reality show. Beyond that, they didn't "win or place" and subsequently went nowhere fast. Previous AFD was on the fence. The Dissident Aggressor 20:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. I created this article? In 2006, in the height of the U.S. music/reality TV competition craze, I would have believed that this band had earned its notability through its exposure and ride the wave of success it had then. In 2014, sadly, it doesn't meet the tests. And I will say this: I don't want to look at how I justified keeping this article. I haven't even been a regular viewer of AGT or similar shows for years now, nor have I kept up with the band. But, yes, I agree the subject currently won't meet WP:BAND and a cursory Web search on the subject yields a lack of results. It also doesn't help that the band's websites (under both names) are inactive. The exception is when the band is mentioned in association with Ming-Na Wen, as she and her husband were the band's managers, and may still be so; it would be worthwhile to include a mention in her résumé, in other words, her article. [1] [2] [3] [4] The band does have a YouTube page but it hasn't uploaded new content since 2010. Their "Ain't No Sunshine" music video, for which was their most noted performance on AGT, has almost 1.7 million views, but as impressive as that is, it's not enough for a WIkipeida article nowadays. in conclusion, due to a lack of sources and wavering WP notability, I'd have to say delete for the band until they gain mass attention or recognition again.

- Note: If this article is kept, the article should be renamed to Tatum Jones, as that is apparently the current name of the band. Tinlinkin (talk) 09:10, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There is no doubt about consensus above. This has been open for 16 days and nobody has said keep. Please close. The Dissident Aggressor 22:18, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
