Notability is not inherited, fails WP:GNG. According to sources, it is still a "project", not an up and running ensemble Night of the Big Wind _talk 10:41, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The worst that should happen here is that this is merged to Fleet Foxes. I don't see deletion as remotely appropriate. It obviously doesn't fail GNG when you look at the coverage the band has had: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. --Michig (talk) 18:32, 22 March 2012 (UTC) See also: [7], [8].--Michig (talk) 19:39, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While it is cleary early days for this band, the success of their 'parent' band almost guarantees that Poor Moon will receive some serious coverage. I have added some sources to the article, and I believe this already shows that WP:MUSIC is met. --sparkl_!sm ^hey! 07:52, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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

Speedy Keep. Already has coverage and media attention, and as Sparklism said, the members themselves are more than notable. Band already released their first EP too which has been reviewed by some major websites. ~dee^(talk?) 12:47, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Nom should be careful when nominating pages and giving reasons; it says Poor Moon is a side project for Wargo and Wescott, not that it is some experimental one-time project. It doesn't say in any of the sources that it is not "an up and running ensemble" as nom states. They're even signed with Sub Pop and Bella Union. ~dee^(talk?)

So what? It is Poor Moon that has to show notability. Tha efact that it is related to Wargo, Westcot, Sub Pop and Bella Unioon does not make it notable. Night of the Big Wind _talk 17:10, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it does. And it's not related to Wargo and Westcot, but they are the band's founding members (along with Ian and Peter Murray)--it's sort of like saying Phil Elvrum's Old Time Relijun isn't notable since it isn't The Microphones... And being signed with Sub Pop and Bella Union helps establish notability, for sure, so people don't claim that this is "still a project," as you did. I don't understand the problem here--have you taken the time to look at all the sources listed in the article and by other editors above? How can you still be arguing that the band does not meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSIC? What else are you looking for? ~dee^(talk?) 17:36, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proof of notability, based on their own merits and backed up by reliable third party sources. Night of the Big Wind _talk 17:59, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Poor Moon ticks off #1 and #6 of WP:BAND, and arguably #4. ~dee^(talk?) 19:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
