Deer Tick[edit]

Delete. NN, fails WP:Band. Endless Dan 12:33, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep if expanded. I've found some decent reliable third-party sources. The AMG source is pretty convincing; between it and the other sources he might meet criterion #1 of WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 14:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: if this is deleted, this page probably ought to redirect to Ixodes scapularis, the fancy name for the deer tick. Deer tick is currently a disambiguation page, between the vermin and this band; it too should redirect to the page for the tick if this gets deleted. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets WP:MUSIC. Several reliable sources including all that TPH mentioned plus a Lenghty review from Pitchfork Media (who are a notable reviewer of mostly alternative rock and indie rock music) Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 17:03, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - It does appear to meet notability. I also agree that if the article is kept, the article should be renamed Deer Tick (band), and "Deer Tick" should be directed to the insect. LonelyBeacon (talk) 17:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a single review of an album by an Internet based inde-rock review organisation is not sufficient for WP:BAND. Nor is a mention in allmusic. WP:BAND gives you all sorts of ways to declare a band notable, I don't see any of them met by the article, nor by a cursory google search. I'll happily change my position if new evidence surfaces. -Verdatum (talk) 20:12, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK then...How about A write-up in SPIN Magazine? Spin and Pitchfork are both notable and the artist meets WP:MUSIC criterion #1. You only saw my refs, not the five that TPH posted above? Doc Strange^MailboxLogbook 16:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to dab, if the band is kept, it should be Deer Tick (band) 70.51.8.100 (talk) 06:39, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, article establishes notability as per WP:MUSIC#C1 for the above refs mentioned by TPH & Dr Strange. Also agree with the rename proposal by LonelyBeacon. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 08:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
