Sherwood (US band)[edit]

Sherwood (band) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)

The article fails WP:MUSIC. There are assertions of notability but the claims of notability are hard to verify. For instance, the lead sentence claims that their first release was a huge success, but provides no citation to verify that. The article claims that the band contacted many labels, but again this kind of information is hard to verify. The article is very promotional in tone. Take away all of the unsourced material and all that's left is a stub about a non notable band. Delete'TheRingess (talk) 17:55, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I've found interviews and reviews of the band on TruePunk, Absolutepunk.net (which apparently released an EP last year that caused quite some stir), PunkNews, and probably could dig up a few more with some more extensive Google-fu. They're also apparently the first rock album released by MySpace Records, and just wrapped up a national tour supporting Relient K and Mae (a review, to help meet WP:V on that statement). Definitely enough to work with here, but the article needs to be tidied and sources added. Tony Fox (arf!) 19:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep they have albums produced by recognized labels and are signed to a recognized lable. MySpace Records even has a wikipedia page...now that's notable! —Gaff ταλκ 19:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm a little biased, being a Cal Poly grad! —Gaff ταλκ 02:06, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Oh god... myspace has a record label now... but anyway, TheRingess is right, it does seem to violate NPOV, but not that badly. Whsitchy 20:29, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why "oh god"? Every band under the sun now has a myspace page. It seems like a great idea for them to start a record label....unlike wikipedia, they are not opposed to "discovering" new talent. Here everything needs notability. —Gaff ταλκ 02:03, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and clean up Notable enough, just about. And I have to echo the above comment about MySpace! Adrian M. H. 20:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per Tony Fox. The whole article does need to be edited for a more encyclopedic tone and the NPOV removed. --Paul Erik 14:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep i don't think that this article should be deleted. someone should be assigned to clean up and find whether there are sources for the information. some of this is true, or seems to be after my minimal research, and just needs citations — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historyisstupid15 (talk • contribs)
