The Kazoo Funk Orchestra

This article reads more like a brief promotion. They are an unsigned band with no notable musicians, tours, albums, or songs. I'm guessing one of the members wrote the articles. This fails WP:MUSIC, and I propose it be deleted. Manderson198^(sprech)/_(contribs) 14:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Post-expansion, the band's notability is more apparent, due to the former band member's notability, the radio play, etc... Keep Manderson198^(sprech)/_(contribs) 17:38, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

• Response In response to your proposal to delete The Kazoo Funk Orchestra, I beg to differ...

According to the criteria for musicians and ensembles on Wikipedia:Notability (music), this band should be considered notable.

1. It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
   1. Featured Article in the Evening Times (Scottish Newspaper) - Printed and Online
   2. Reviewed twice in Is This Music? (UK Music Magazine) - Printed
   3. Appeared in Art Uber Ales (Greek TV Show)
   4. Featured in the soundtrack of Trailer Trash (Skateboard Video by CREME Skateboards)
   5. Appeared on the Your Sound - Best of Term One compilation album released by King Tut's Recordings
2. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, reported in reliable sources.
   1. Toured the UK earlier this year (Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Bristol, Chepstow, Sheffield, Inveraray, Dundrennan, Leicester, Fairlie).

Does this not satisfy the criteria? (talk) 10:34, 17 December 2007 (EST)

• I agree, that would likely satisfy the criteria. If you could include these references in the article, it would be greatly appreciated, and likely increase the chances of the article passing this Afd with a result of keep. As is, the article has no such citations. -Verdatum (talk) 16:12, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. The added sources seem to confirm this band's notability. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:35, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
