[edit] The Courteeners
They apparently have a pretty good PR machine, but this band hasn't released an album or toured yet. Fails notability. Corvus cornix 20:37, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- Delete They might be notable one day, but they aren't yet. Reads like the PR it almost certainly is.Alberon 12:04, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - issues with the article sounding like a PR piece can be dealth with. Tagged with {{POV}}. -- Whpq 15:32, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - article provides two sources, and searching trough Google News shows a lot of hits. Many of these articles (for example this one) have the band as the focus of the article. It looks like they've made it past "up-and-coming" to "newly-arrived". Meets WP:BIO with multiple reliable sources independent of the subject. -- Whpq 15:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Reads like an advert and needs to be toned down a bit but subject of article appears to be notable - major label single released, several secondary sources, supported a definitely notable band, et cetera. 91.106.28.172 18:14, 31 October 2007 (UTC) (Sorry that was A1Octopus who had forgotten to sign in.)
