The Heartstring Symphony[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable per WP:BAND, unreferenced, appears to be a recently self-published musical group without a track record of accomplishment; a brief due-diligence news search turned up one item announcing a play date. Also note WP:COI by creator. Prod contested by anonymous editor. MuffledThud (talk) 11:19, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because the artist only claims notability on the basis of being a member of the band above. It's also unreferenced, and there are similar WP:COI issues. As above, no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources. Prod contested by anonymous editor at same IP address as above article.

Comment These two articles appear to be written without an understanding of WP:COI and WP:MUSICBIO principles, perhaps innocently. Some time might be needed before anyone chooses to help out based on the edit tags that have been appropriately placed on the articles. I'm not sure if recommending the passage of time for improvement is a legitimate vote for an AfD discussion, therefore I'm leaving it as a Comment.

Delete both, fails WP:MUSIC. NawlinWiki (talk) 16:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice for re-creation when appropriate. This musical group is just too early in its life cycle to have garnered sufficient attention from the musical and public worlds to warrant inclusion (based on notability guidelines). Wikipedia should not be used to bring to the attention of the world groups that would otherwise escape notice; Wikipedia reflects the attention of the world to a group. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 15:29, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
