I can't find any reliable sources that show notability. Schuym1 (talk) 22:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

What documentation needs to be provided to make this band legitimate in the eyes of Wikipedia?

I realize that as an "underground" sort of thing, hardcore and punk tend to not garner the same level of media exposure as other popular acts, but there ought to be relativistic standards. i.e. bands, or rather genres of music, that have/has typically eschewed popular media shouldn't be expected to be as obviously present in those outlets.

Take for example Tragedy who have no MySpace page or official website due to their take on capitalism, the internet, etc. The band is clearly relevant but online there exists little official/verifiable information because they operate outside of the conventional band/touring/promotion network for socio-political reasons. They are _essentially_ "punk" in that regard, but you're likely not going to see them getting front page coverage on CNN.com or other large/commercial news sites.

Here's a few links of interest. If there are criteria that need to be met, please let me know and I will attempt to source additional information.

• Band MySpace Page
• Videos on Google Video/YouTube
• Record for sale at VeryDistro
• "Never Stop Attacking" CD for sale
• "Never Stop Attacking" CD for sale
• Photos documenting US and European tours going back to 1999
• Since By Man page showing the SDoS/SBM split record

The first 6 sources aren't reliable and Wikipedia can't be used a source. Read WP:MUSIC.Schuym1 (talk) 21:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

• Delete, no reliable secondary sources to establish notability. Huon (talk) 13:24, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
• Delete if that's all there is as far as reliable sources go, there's no way this could be an article. And the main claim of notability (small-venue touring) is extremely weak anyway. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:25, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
• Delete - no reliable sources to establish notability. If a band deliberately goes out of the way to be inaccessible and avoid notice, and succeed, then they are non-notable. -- Whpq (talk) 17:35, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
