The 440 Alliance[edit]

Unreferenced, no assertion of significance beyond an unsourced claim of appearing on All Songs Considered and The Next Great American Band (neither of which makes it inherently notable). B (talk) 06:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Group seems to meet notability requirements--two albums and appearances on NPR and FOX programs. There is in fact an NPR source, so the NPR reference is not unsourced. Badagnani (talk) 06:07, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No allmusic. Not part of the Top-12 so they did NOT actually appear on the Fox TV series. No evidence of charts/tours/awards. NPR link is part of series on "...artists...off the radar..." ie, not yet notable. Self-produced albums don't count towards notability. Ravenna1961 (talk) 03:20, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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

Neutral I can find several articles on them (adding to notability) but it would help if the myspace and youtube links disappeared via wp:links and if the second CD was on a label (first was indie). Borderline case but might pass if we had more info. Pharmboy (talk) 15:51, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree, this is a particularly tough one for me. A strict application of the guidelines would probably make me come out with a very weak delete, but they seem so close that one good source would put them over the top. I'm considering them under criterion 7 of WP:MUSIC (representative of particular musical style or local scene), but even then I'm having difficulty nailing down the kind of source that I'd like to see.
