[edit] Eastern Conference Champions

Eastern Conference Champions (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable band per WP:BAND, 1 EP and 1 CD which is currently being marketed and accounts for most Google hits. No mention of any tours. One reference to an appearance on a TV show, no doubt due to good PR. It's usually an indicator of non-notability when the WP article is in the first 5 listings of a Google search. -- WebHamster 22:59, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - How is it a indicator? If i search for Heroes, then i will probably get the wikpedia page for the tv show on NBC as one of the top results. That's just how Google works. This band seems to be notable enough for wikipedia. The band was recently on a popular late-night tv show[1], they have an EP and a new album out (which came out in July of 2007), their bassist is a former member of the popular alternative rock/metal band CKY...what more could you want for notability? I'm sorry, but this is a definate keep. dposse 23:08, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I believe it is not an indicator of non-notability if the article shows up within the first 5 Google results. I mean, I chose two bands at random: Metallica and The Beatles. Both had the Wikipedia result in the first five entries, specifically the second entry. It's just because Wikipedia is a highly used site. Anyways, I believe the appearance on Last Call and a member's connection to CKY should secure the band's notability. I don't see why the Last Call performance would hurt the band's notability; the band might certainly have good PR, but since that source is from you, it is just speculation. --GVOLTT How's my editing?\My contribs 23:15, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment The argument about non-notability because Wikipedia is one of the first five listings is not entirely valid. Pretty much any search I perform will turn Wikipedia in the first page. Try "George W. Bush", third hit [2],or Pink Floyd, second hit [3], even something as technical as "Sanskrit morphology" is the first [4] Yngvar 23:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Fair enough ---- WebHamster 23:23, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - They pass WP:MUSIC criteria #4, possibly #1 too (I found a Spin article, but haven't searched that hard for anything else). Torc2 06:48, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
