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