I see no indication that they meet the requirements in WP:BAND. They've been nominated for one little award (so little that the article about that award wasn't even created until less than two weeks ago) so this certainly doesn't count as a "major music award" or "major music competition" as described in the requirement linked above. As for substantial coverage in independent sources, all I see is three sentences in Seventeen and someone's blog. No album released yet, no charting singles, no nothing. And for a band that's supposed to be the WP:up and coming next big thing (which is not an appropriate reason for an article anyway), not that many people are looking them up on Misplaced Pages (pageview stats). rʨanaɢ /_contribs 00:13, 13 September 2009 (UTC) rʨanaɢ /_contribs 11:09, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

• Delete, no charting albums (actually, that unreleased album should be up for AFD too), non-notable label (which was recently speedied), nominated for a minor award that they might not even win (we'll see tonight). No prejudice against recreation if they do explode onto the charts overnight...or something like that. As of now, they fail WP:BAND for the reasons described above. talkingbirds 16:45, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
  • You're right about the album, I forgot to mention that in the nom statement. To the closing admin: if this article is deleted, Written Roads should be deleted along with it. rʨanaɢ /_contribs 19:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

• Striking comment They lost the award, so I'm definitely going delete. If they would have won this minor award, I would have been a little more lenient on the deletedeletedelete argument. But simply being nominated for a small award that will probably not be introduced again next year & was not presented on-air is not enough justification to pass WP:BAND. talkingbirds 21:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

• Delete for now. Maybe next month, we'll have more to talk about. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 21:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

  • Do you intend to address any of the policy issues raised above, or do you just like the article? rʨanaɢ /_contribs 17:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
