The result was keep though I do recommend that someone who reads Polish look over the Google hits and possible sources. The article can always be nominated later if they're trivial (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:21, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Car Is on Fire[edit]

I propose deletion of this article as the subject has not recieved significant coverage in reliable secondary sources:

Google web search brings up nothing.
Google news search brings up nothing.

In addition the band's music has never been recognised by any kind of chart or award organisation. Patton^t/c 16:04, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete And it probably never will Patton. Based upon those results, it's a firm delete. --Russavia ^Dialogue 16:14, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Striking that above for time being. There are plenty of hits on Google news, yet they are in Polish. The Polish article indicates they may be signed to EMI Music Poland. There is some possibility of notability here, but it's going to need a Polish speaker to work on establishing that. So I am staying neutral for the moment. --Russavia ^Dialogue 16:18, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes your search term was different to mine. The third and fourth results [1] [2] are apparenty about the band because I see the word "group" and "concert", though the rest could be about anything.--Patton^t/c 16:20, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Merely signing with EMI is not enough, I think. The fact that the article says the band has never charted is. No problem on reversing if someone who speaks Polish can establish notability somehow, but even then I'd be doubtful. §FreeRangeFrog 18:47, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Reversing my delete, per Mgm below. Certainly meets #5 on WP:BAND. §FreeRangeFrog 21:30, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merely not charting is not enough reason to drop an article. It only means it fails 1 of 12 criteria for inclusion. I'd prefer it if this was brough directly to the attention of some Polish article creators rather than those checking deletion sorting pages., - Mgm|^(talk) 21:21, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The red-linked Lakes & Flames album [3] was also released with EMI Poland which means they meet the WP:MUSIC criterion "two albums with notable label". - Mgm|^(talk) 21:24, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, passes WP:MUSIC#C5. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 22:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
