Non notable band, not clear how this could possibly pass WP:GNG or WP:BAND ? Theroadislong (talk) 20:19, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of the sources cited:

- iTunes, the band's website, a Vimeo link to one of their videos, Facebook, and Blogspot are either affiliated or fall under WP:USERG or WP:SPS

- Movidiam's page on Abraham Marcos establishes that he exists (but not that he's notable) and that he worked with them, not that The Warning is notable.

- This article from Perfect Sound Forever (magazine) potentially qualifies as a reliable source. By itself, it's not enough to establish notability, though. This has prompted me to look for further WP:RSs, which brought up this article from Mic (media company), this one from BuzzFeed, this one from People online, and this one from Laughing Squid -- in just the first 10 results of a Google search for "the warning band." While I was initially assuming this would be non-notable and deletion worthy, WP:1E doesn't quite apply to bands so I have to say that this probably can be turned into something worth keeping.

I've also located this one from Tom Tom Magazine, which is from a year earlier than most of rest of the sources (EDIT: also, the Perfect Sound Forever source is from this year instead of 2015); and a couple of others. They may end up being a one-hit wonder, but there was coverage from a variety of sources, including Nerdist Industries (here) and Boston (magazine) (here).

Keep I have significantly de-PROMOed the article, and added a pile of references, most of which are no good, but some show notability, such as the Huffington Post reference. Also it seems this band was on the Ellen show, and that there are numerous references to covers they have done, so looking further could be fruitful, since I didn't go to page 2 on the google search (for: The Warning (Mexican Band). EDIT: due to edit conflict in which my revision got blanked, you have to see [diff] to see what I did, Ian.thomson's version seems better, explained in detail by him on the article talk page along with a breakdown of the sources.A Guy into Books (talk) 21:38, 26 August 2017 (UTC) & A Guy into Books (talk) 19:00, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep As originally nominated it was WP:PROMO, but subsequent edits have significantly improved it. Still, it's kind of WP:SINGLEEVENT by most persons definition of notability, but I think there is now a cumulative amount of worthy sources to merit weak Wikipedia notability.
