Classic Case[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The band fails notability guidelines for music groups. The only reference is to music database site AllMusic and the biography section is totally unreferenced, contrary to the biographies of living persons policy. The band also fails the general notability guideline with a Google search revealing little in-depth coverage in independent, reliable sources. DrStrauss talk 12:28, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is some coverage. E.g. https://www.punknews.org/bands/classiccase. Not enough for me to conclude keep', but I note that a member of Classic Case went on to become a member of the band Telescreen which is more notable. Ross-c (talk) 17:57, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~- Almost void of secondary coverage and no charting records? Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG to me. DrStrauss you probably should make their album a part of this discussion or at least remember to CSD it if this article is deleted.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:10, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ehh then weak keep I suppose per Chubbles. I would actually like to see the sources but I will WP:AGF and assume they exist. Their album that I mentioned still fails WP:NALBUM to me but that's another discussion for another day.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:40, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a classic case of source-rot; a lot of the publications that covered this sort of music aren't online anymore. This band was reviewed in Absolute Punk (now Chorus.FM), but they wiped their entire database when they moved to their new site location. They also got a paper review in Alternative Press, which is how I heard about them, some time in 2005...unfortunately, I didn't save that issue, and it's not replicated online. The AMG biography, at least, is extensive, and notes several tours. The band put out one album on Fiddler (the label that launched New Found Glory and Dashboard Confessional, who both went on to multiplatinum careers) and a second on Fearless Records, one of the leading labels in the genre. Melodic.net gave them a brief review - not a phenomenal source, but it's something. ([1]) There's enough to hurdle WP:MUSIC here. Chubbles (talk) 01:29, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
