Mansions (band)[edit]

Non-notable music project lacking GHIts and GNEWS of substance. It appears the release on an independent label does not meet the criteria in WP:MUSIC, I see evidence of only a single Album and an EP, not multiple albums. reddogsix (talk) 10:11, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I declined the speedy and the prod for this as the band have some releases on Doghouse Records, namely the Mansions EP and the New Best Friends album. It appears there was a further album, Best of the Bees, released by the label too, though this looks like a collection of previously released tracks and not a "proper" album. I found a couple of reviews online, which do look to be independent of the subject, but I can't vouch for their reliability. ~~That doesn't add up to very much in terms of meeting WP:MUSICBIO, so I'm !voting for a Weak Delete, unless a more convincing argument for inclusion is made.~~ Thanks. — sparklism ^hey! 10:40, 16 October 2012 (UTC) Changing to Keep, per the sources found by Michig. — sparklism ^hey! 07:22, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak~~ keep. Possibly just enough coverage to be considered worth an article, with two significant pieces in reliable sources and a few smaller articles: The Aquarian Weekly, PopMatters, Filter, Filter. --Michig (talk) 18:49, 16 October 2012 (UTC) I also found a few articles fro the Seattle Weekly: [1], [2], [3], an article from the Altoona Mirror ([4]), and staff reviews from Sputnik Music and Punknews.org, so I think we have enough to keep and turn this into a decently-sourced article. --Michig (talk) 19:01, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. Multiple pieces of significant coverage in independent reliable sources, identified above. Subject meets WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Gongshow ^Talk 15:45, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The editors above have demonstrated coverage by multiple secondary sources. Meets the general notability guideline criteria.--xanchester (t) 23:58, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
