- Somastate (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (restore)
All sources have been stated. Last creation was 2008. Band was not nearly as relevant as they are now and all independent references are valid. Darkrider11 (talk) 18:42, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, article meets criteria for sections #1 (distribution via iTunes, HMV, Chapters and online distro, etc.), #2 (songs were in regular rotation across mainstream radio as well as college and internet radio -- CJSW, x929, The Bear, ect.), #4 (performed both Vans Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos. Media coverage documented), #7 (band was well known and is cited by many local musicians as an influence), #8 (awarded Hard Rock album of the year via Just Plain Folks Awards/Organization in Nashville), #9 (Vans Warped Tour and Taste of Chaos), #11 (songs "Juniper" and "Wrapped Around a Bullet" received national rotation in Canada) of Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles.

- There are some problems with your aplication of the criteria. #1 concerns published works about the band, not the band's own musical works and their distribution. #2 concerns presence on a national chart (like Billboard, for example), not merely radio play. For #9, you've given names of events, but you haven't said whether the events were competitions, and, if so, whether this band won or placed in them. Lastly, for #4, #7, #8, and #11, you'll have to verify those assertions.
- So you've got some work to do. My suggestion is that you ask for the article to be userfied to you, that you work on it, and when it's ready, submit it through the Articles for Creation process. Would you accept that solution? --Bsherr (talk) 16:25, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Endorse speedy as G4 - WP:A7 doesn't apply (importance = "In 2009, Somastate was awarded Hard Rock album of the year for their sophomore release Reversals"). However, WP:G4 seems to apply in view of the cache'd article and the AfD. I'm not sure what the DRV nominator statment "All sources have been stated" means. I found few sources only consisting of "Somastate will be playing at" type info. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 13:51, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- G4 would only apply if the 2011 article is substantially the same in content as the one that was the subject of the AfD. Do you know this to be? --Bsherr (talk) 16:32, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I was referring to WP:G4, not G4. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 14:07, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If you are referring to criterion for speedy deletion number G4, so am I. Incidentally, what's the difference between the two? --Bsherr (talk) 15:49, 20 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
