Fails WP:BAND. Hell in a Bucket and I went through and removed a mess of promo that existed in the article. The two sources remaining are a brief mention and a promo page from a website that showcases small bands. Ish dar ian 08:52, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a little torn on this one. They have been signed to a record label Rock Ridge Music thereby fulfilling at least one criteria of WP:BAND. I think we need slightly more sources but seeing [[1]] Jimmy Lloyd is just barely enough to squeak by with a weak keep as it fulfills another requirement that it be featured on a national program and "The Jimmy Lloyd Songwriter Showcase is a nationally syndicated TV show on NBC".

Delete per nomination. Being signed to a major label is not a valid criteria. Releasing multiple albums on a major label is. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:01, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Walter Görlitz granted they haven't released the second album but they do have it in the works [[2]] and they have been featured on a national tv series [[3]]. I definitely think it's on the fringe but it seems that it might be a weak keep..what are your thoughts? Hell In A Bucket (talk) 05:29, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Future events may never happen or may be postponed and to call Rock Ridge Music a major label is overstating things a bit. KDAR.tv is a blog and Jimmy Lloyd Songwriter Showcase is not notable either. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:58, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Isn't syndication for NBC a good benchmark for notability? If you still feel the same way you don't have to respond, just my opinion. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 06:22, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Yeah, I did a bit of my own research, and struggled to find much aside from some reviews in non-notable/reliable sources and some television appearances (local stuff, etc). I think it's WP:TOOSOON. But, I did like listening to their music. SarahStierch (talk) 00:43, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Hell in a Bucket seems to be quite well aware of pop culture sourcing (far better than I am), so I see no reason to disagree with his assessment. Nyttend (talk) 16:16, 19 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
