V05 (band) – "Delete" closure endorsed. By default, if you want, because only one editor other than the closer and the requesting editor commented. –  Sandstein  08:11, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

V05 (band) (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (XfD|restore) Multiple instances of incorrect information used in deletion discussion + new information: 1)editor states: "MTVu is not the same as MTV, as it is only available on 750 or so college campuses" & "only 1-week" VO5 had a song with 8 week heavy rotation on MTVu, available on most digital cable subscription (like Charter Cable) nationally with millions of viewers not just on college campuses. The song has 2 videos with over 600,000 worldwide total views on the VO5 youtube channel 2)"unsigned cover band" - with "only local coverage". Sample article about original music from out of state: also "Unique Album of the Year" Madison Area Awards and multiple out-of-state reviews listed in article (Obscure Sound, Milk Crater, votd.tv, World Music Cental listed. 3) "Subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works" Front-page & multi-page print article in Wisconsin State Journal, the major state-wide newspaper with daily printed circulation of 100,000 : "V05 still shaking it at age 10, with first original album" Likewise, long articles in The Isthmus (print circulation 50,000 weekly)) and Maximum Ink (print circulation 25,000) mentioned and are not student newspapers or blogs and have state-wide appeal. 4) "Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city" notable style: nu-disco. Featured on Wisconsin Public Television's acclaimed "30-minute Music Hour" Aired: 11/17/2015 on 12 stations covering the entire state of Wisconsin. Ten-piece disco music revivalists from Madison, WI playing original songs from their new album titled "Dance Originality" with funk, jazz and Latin influences. References Fantartic (talk) 21:40, 6 December 2016 (UTC) Endorse, while there is arguably "new" information here, it really just backs up the primary finding of the AFD: specifically, that this is an unsigned local band of considerably less than encyclopedic notability. Meanwhile, from way, way, way out of left field comes the bizarre claim that V05 is "one of the most prominent representatives" of nu-disco music. Presumably this was put in as a joke, because surely the nominator isn't seriously considering this unsigned local band equal in prominence to worldwide hitmakers like Daft Punk and Scissor Sisters. Hilarity aside, with no apparent significant change in notability since July, I endorse the unanimous outcome of the AFD. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 09:30, 7 December 2016 (UTC) As I said when I was asked to restore this, there isn't anything particularly new here. The Wisconsin State Journal, The State Times, The Isthmus and Maximum Ink citations were all in the article when it was deleted and the people who commented in the AfD weren't very impressed. Granted, the YouTube channel, press clipping page and clip from Wisconsin Public Television weren't in there, but I don't honestly think they would have made any difference. Hut 8.5 21:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC) what is the source of the claim found by Starblind that they are "one of the most prominent representatives" of nu-disco music"?
