Culture (US band)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Seemingly non-notable and unimprovable band article as my searches found nothing better at all to suggest solid notability and the other band article As Friends Rust has also been nominated (even the third band Morning Again also seems questionably notable and improvable). Notifying author HDS and past users Davidwr, Michig and Lugnuts. SwisterTwister talk 19:42, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep as per first AfD. --Michig (talk) 20:14, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral for now pending more information - the two musicians mentioned as "notable" in the first AFD are arguably not notable. I don't have time to assess this right now, but it would help a lot if we could point to two (or more) musicians in the group and say they clearly met WP:MUSIC and keep the article, OR if we could point to all but one of the musicians in the group and say they clearly fail to meet WP:MUSIC and delete the article (or find some other reason that the topic is notable other than "it has two notable members"). davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 23:46, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Followup: I haven't had time to research this but if this AFD closes with just the nom, my comment, and the comment above it, I recommend against a "keep" close and recommend for a close of "no consensus." davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 16:30, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since the author of this article has been informed of the issues regarding this band's notability in 2008[1] and has been nominated for deletion in 2008[2], 2010 [3] and 2015[4]. The author has done naught to improve the article to the point that it has actually had an AfD article to a conclusive Keep. Lack of activity on the AfD discussion pages indicates a lack of credible interest in this article as opposed to the ambivalence of those taking part in the conversations. User:HDS has a bit of a history creating Walled Garden articles relating to obscure bands in the Florida hardcore, punk and metalcore scenes that fail to pass WP:NMUSIC, and referencing the "What Links Here?" page shows that.

Delete insufficient coverage (none that I can find, really) in reliable, secondary sources. Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:18, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not enough in-depth coverage from independent reliable sources to show they pass WP:GNG. Doesn't meet WP:NBAND. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:18, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
