The result was no consensus. I won't close it as a keep as Wikipedia:Notability (music) concerns have not been met, at all. Proto::► 10:26, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dalla[edit]

Doesn't satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (music), except perhaps amongst an obscure Cornish folk scene. Google gives no references other than the bands own website. Frexes 23:01, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note:nominator's second edit, all edits have been nominating this for AfD

Weak keep, it seems just barely notable. Oh, and by the way, Vanilla Ice isn't notable except amongst an obscure North American rap scene. Notability satisfied anywhere is satisfied everywhere. -Amarkov ^blah_edits 23:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't fit WP:BIO and music criteria. SkierRMH,08:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Cornish folk may be obscure to some, but is very important to others. DuncanHill 20:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment True, but the importance of a music genre doesn't necessarily make the band itself notable. Frexes 22:33, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable enough I think, especially with respect to Cornish folk music. As already mentioned obscure is a relative term Mammal4 09:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment BTW, whilst a useful tool, Google is not a universal guide for all knowledge in the universe and just because something doesn't get many hits does not mean that it is not notable. Google over represents some subjects in hits (IT being an obvious example) and correspondingly under-represents others and we should be wary of how we use search outputs especially in Afds Mammal4 09:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If it is notable, then it should satisfy a criterion in Wikipedia:Notability (music). The article does not assert this, with reference. Perhaps, if it is indeed notable, you could add references to the article to show that it does satisfy one or more of the criteria. Else I'm afraid I don't see any evidence that it is notable, beyond your saying so. (Incidentally, I've just realised perhaps saying 'obscure' Cornish folk scene was a little insensitive. I meant no offence). Frexes 16:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Cornish folk is not obscure in Cornwall and it is as notable as many other entries 81.78.180.165 19:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete If it has indeed greatly influenced Cornish music, cite that and keep the article. —ShadowHalo 23:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
