The result was Moved to draft. The majority of respondents did not believe that this article did not quite meet notability requirements, and the one keep admitted this was borderline. (non-admin closure) Spirit of Eagle (talk) 03:24, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

PROD removed without improving the article. Concern = Fails to meet notability criteria at WP:BAND Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:58, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Week keep. I found sufficient notability to mark this as reviewed and contest the PROD (since when did removing a PROD require that the article be improved, btw? At least I gave a reason - not even that is required!) I am erring on the side of keep, though admittedly it is borderline: multiple plays on BBC radio ([1]) is not insignificant, and an indication that WP:BAND #11 or #12 has been met. I also found reviews and mentions in notable publications: Clash (magazine)([2]), Les Inrockuptibles ([3]) and Q (magazine) ([4]), for example, which seemed sufficient for inclusion.

Improving a PROD is not obligatory, but it is suggested at WP:DEPROD (a policy). Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:59, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Draft and userfy for now as I found nothing better and even the links listed above aren't swaying and convincing enough. SwisterTwister talk 04:53, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Move to draft. I found much the same sources that are identified above. Not really sufficient coverage to merit an article at this stage but there seems to be sufficient interest that further coverage is likely, so keeping as a draft for now seems appropriate. --Michig (talk) 08:23, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
