Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2013 December 2
The band now satisfies criterion 5 of WP:MUSIC by virtue of releasing a second album via Scarlet Records [1]. Therefore, the articles for the band and their first album, A Gate Through the Past should now be restored. The closing admin has been contacted - to no avail.

The article was neutral and non-promotional and was the subject of an ongoing discussion. The deletion was premature. Blitzlaw (talk) 03:37, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

- Overturn speedy deletion and relist at AfD. The article did have one independent source (Triangle Business Journal) and I think that it would have been more appropriate to allow the AfD discussion to run for a full week rather than speedily deleting the article as promotional. It's possible that the article might have had its promotional aspects toned down and become more neutral during the AfD period. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:34, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
- User:Metropolitan, if you really think this, and if your view is supported, please overturn my deletion and return it to AfD, but think first whether there is any actual chance of there being an acceptable article here. Do you really think any other close than delete is the least likely? A city business journal, after all, is my idea of the most unreliable indiscriminate PR-ridden source imaginable, Relying on it as the best source, is pretty much a proof of promotionalism for what even the article admits is a very locally known product. I suggest instead simply allowing a new article to be written, preferably through AfC. I restored the article here immediately myself for visibility, because I think it shows on its face its nature as a prime example of what G11 is about, better than any argument I could give.

- (edit conflict) Endorse as well within the acceptable range. We'll not be leaving it up to WP:SPAs to judge 'neutral and non-promotional'. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:27, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
