This article was speedily deleted not even 24 hours ago. I didn't see that version, but while I don't think this version (created by the same editor) warrants a speedy, I still don't think it passes WP:BAND. An extensive Google search couldn't pull up any reliable sources, and as for the sources in the article, the only one that isn't a blog goes to SonicBids.com, a site that basically only serves the purpose of helping unsigned bands get exposure.

Speedy Delete fails WP:BAND, and should have just been CSD'd to begin with. --Fbifriday (talk) 06:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete not notable. Eeekster (talk) 07:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Can we get a speedy delete per WP:SNOW, as the page should have just been tagged for speedy to begin with, and really doesn't have a snowballs chance at surviving the AfD? --Fbifriday (talk) 07:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not speedy - and reserve salt for later, on account of WP:AGF. The author is working on it, but for lack of sources, this band is not expected at this point to make the grade. Hope they do well, and good luck to the band. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 21:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This band is certainly notable. After visiting their music page, there are a couple songs I like. I have a SoundScan account (I'm own a recording studio in NYC and have to belong to it for my artist's sake. Memberships are $5,000/yearly and I look up anyone I record free of charge). While I did not record The Show, I used my sources to discover their album has 31,339 downloads as of today, and about 1100 spins on American radio. I couldn't look up overseas radio, but they are listed on several stations' playlists in Ireland, England, and Scotland. Because it took months for them to sell that number of albums and receive those plays, nothing charted. It doesn't mean they aren't notable. And I have since read that Rae DeLeo will be producing their next album. No reason not to leave this article up... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.44.22 (talk) 16:45, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- I can confirm that the American band The Show did tour England Ireland and Scotland, playing venues such as Wheelan's, the o2, the Manchester Academy, and a two night stand in London. I'm looking for more details. I saw their gig in Liverpool at the Mojo and actually trained to London to see another gig by them. I certainly thing they're notable enough for Wiki! I mean, Choco Ice has it's own page for Lord's sake! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.126.44.22 (talk) 16:50, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks for the notes. One note is that they can be notable, but they must be notable as per our standards here. Number of charting songs is a start, but see that article for more of what we're looking for. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 17:41, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
