Garage Voice[edit]

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

Non-notable band. A Google News Archive search returns 26 results; however, most of them are from Northwest Christian Music, which is not an independent, neutral reliable source. An example of Northwest Christian Music's non-neutrality is seen in this link: We are so excited about their new album. The rest of this article, as well as the other articles from Northwest Christian Music, is written like a press release. Google News Archive also returns this article from The Spokesman-Review; however, it is a passing mention.

Garage Voice contains an interview from fishtrain.com; however, the interview does not qualify as significant coverage per WP:BAND because nearly all of the information in the interview is the band talking members about themselves. This interview states: "I’m here with Garage Voice, an up-and-coming band, just back from their nation-wide tour." An "up-and-coming band" is not notable, and there are no reliable sources that cover this band's "nation-wide tour".

If reliable sources can be found about this band, I will withdraw this AfD nomination. Cunard (talk) 00:45, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If a band releases 2+ albums on a major label, the band is considered notable. Well, Garage Voice has released 5 on a major label. --30daysinAK (talk) 01:02, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately Upbeat Child Records is not considered a major label. Delete. Good eye, Cunard. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 01:07, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
