Apparently fails WP:Artist - no indication of notability, nothing resembling a reliable source in the whole screed. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:55, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep - Noisia are at the forefront of the drum & bass/neurofunk genre. A household name for bass music lovers; I'm willing to do whatever it takes to establish notability and scrape through WP:Artist. Can't back it up with chart success but they've produced for high-profile British artists and remixed for equally (if not more) notable acts. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this article nominated for deletion, but maybe that's just my gut instinct. --DJUnBalanced (talk) 17:58, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some reliable sources and tried to salvage the screed. Can I change your mind? DJUnBalanced (talk) 15:58, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 02:14, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My opinions still stand; Noisia are one of the pioneers of neurofunk, they've released with Skrillex, deadmau5 and Jay-Z's record labels and they're at the forefront of the bass music scene as well as having produced and remixed for some globally recognised pop stars. Hopefully my newer references and revamp of the old 2005 article have been substantial in changing your mind. --DJUnBalanced (talk) 11:06, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep there seems to be some coverage in reliable independent sources. It would be better to have more in the way of reviews and hard news coverage instead of interviews, but it looks like enough. Candleabracadabra (talk) 03:23, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Noisia has appeared at numerous large electronic music festivals including Electric Forest and Electric Daisy Carnival. They are a significant and well known entity within Electronic Dance Music. BBC music DJ's appear to play their music quite frequently. [1] Their body of work in MusicBrainz appears to be quite extensive.[2] With cleanup I see no reason why this page should not be kept. 24.14.56.64 (talk) 19:00, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
