Deletion of The Shells (folk band) (2nd nomination)

Comment: per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. The sources in the article are not of the depth that would establish notability;  is not met. I have analyzed the sources in the article as of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Shells_(folk_band)&oldid=319983404 this revision on 09:03, 15 October 2009

Comment: insufficient secondary-source coverage to comply with the notability policy. The award nomination did initially give a potential for meeting , but with the now-apparent local and obscure nature of it it confers minimal notability

Comment: this article which is extensively referenced for , thus also . Fairly  as well. It clearly meets the other content policy guidelines, so I won't belabor them. Notability, though against my philosophy, is well-argued above. The (re)nominators need to give up the ghost

Comment: The band article clearly satisfies .  The guidance's test for notability is that the band meet '''any 1''' of 12 criteria.  This band meets 3 of the criteria.  Three times what it must meet to qualify

Comment: Per , a band may be notable if it "Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable."  I count three references that qualify.  (1) The http://www.seventeen.com/fun-stuff/17-buzz/band-spotlight-the-shells Seventeen article, or blurb if you prefer.  It's brief, all right, but it's about the band, and it's in a major publication.  (2) The http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=20368299&BRD=2731&PAG=461&dept_id=574903&rfi=6 article in the Queens Chronicle. A full fledged article, in a local newspaper. (3) http://www.theimproper.com/Template_Article.aspx?IssueId=18&ArticleId=4046 Several paragraphs in a longer article in The Improper, which I just found and which is not referenced in The Shells article.  The Improper appears to be an independent and reliable online arts and entertainment magazine.  When the guideline talks about "non-trivial published works", the intention I believe is to exclude things like being mentioned in the weekend entertainment listings of a newspaper, or having your own article in your Boy Scout troop's newsletter.  Then there's the nomination for Best Breakout New York City Artist Award.  Okay, it's not really a major award, but it was associated with the MTV Video Music Awards, so it's not nothing either.  In summary, it seems the band has three non-trivial independent references, plus, for whatever it's worth, the award nomination.  I do think the album article could be merged with the band article for now though

Comment: Fails both  and , TD;DR wishful thinking above notwithstanding.  Wikipedia band entries should reflect the readers' desire to find info more than the band's desire to get the word out
