Polkadot Cadaver[edit]

fails WP:MUSIC. 7 hits in gnews and most of them are concert listings. [1] LibStar (talk) 23:56, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's ridiculous, since when is gnews a measure of notability for a band? There are plenty of useful hits on regular google. Polkadot Cadaver's main claim to notability is their strong connection to Dog Fashion Disco. They just dropped a couple of members and changed the name, so really any notability that applies to DFD should apply to PC. There are a few reviews and articles out there. I even saw them mentioned in ZOO Weekly. Pwrong (talk) 07:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

see criterion 1 of WP:MUSIC which requires evidence of third party coverage also as per WP:GNG. you need to show evidence of these claims to notability. Zoo magazine is not a reliable source. LibStar (talk) 23:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG recommends looking for sources and adding them to the article. If that doesn't work you can add a notability tag, contact the creator, experts on the subject and possibly the subject of the article. Then if none of that works you should consider merging the article or putting it up for deletion. Pwrong (talk) 03:23, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

that is irrelevant now it's up for AfD, you or anyone has 7 days to rescue the article if you wish. LibStar (talk) 03:38, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It may be irrelevant to this, but keep it in mind next time you see an article you don't like. As for this article, I'll work this source in when I get home [2]. Maybe you could give me a hand finding some more? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pwrong (talk • contribs) 05:30, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have put a notability tag on probably at least 200 articles in my time on WP. guess what? on only 1 occasion has someone actually bothered to improve the article after the tag. LibStar (talk) 23:11, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep since the article has been improved since it was listed. PC and DFD can be considered almost the same band so the former inherits the notability of the latter. Furthermore, they satisfy criterion 1 and kind of satisfies 6 of WP:MUSIC, since Todd Smith has been in two independently notable ensembles.Pwrong (talk) 23:20, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep satisfies WP:BAND #6. TheWeakWilled (T * G) 01:58, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
