Deletion of M.I.A. (band) (2nd nomination)

Comment: on the grounds of two releases on Alternative Tentacles, which is pretty much a textbook example of what  means by "one of the more important indie labels

Comment: Besides passing and (even the nom admits this), it's an iconic punk band in the California punk scene.http://www.allmusicguide.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:09fyxqw5ldae

Comment: same as I voted last time. They meet  criterion #4 by releasing music on Alternative Tentacles (OK the keep voters haven't actually told the nom '''why''' the label is notable. They released music by Dead Kennedys - who's former singer Jello Biafra owns the label, Butthole Surfers and The Melvins all of which have charting singles and albums in the UK and/or US. This makes the label a notable independant label). The http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:09fyxqw5ldae allmusic guide entry features a biography and several reviews. It could certainly use some more |reliable sources, but the band passes  (you don't need to pass EVERY critereon, #Criteria for musicians and ensembles|just one

Comment: ok currently we have as sources the labels http://www.alternativetentacles.com/bandinfo.php?band=mia bio of the band which is not a third party source, two primary sources http://www.fuzzlogic.com/flex/index.php?searchfor=artist&term=mia&display=searchx and http://miaband.com/node/10, a http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/m/mia-lost.shtml popmatters and http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=&sql=10:dpfoxq90ldje allmusic review of one "MIA" LP ''Lost Boys,'' (which popmatters describes as a "compillation"), a blog and two sources concerned with the death of a member, and not ''specifically'' about the band. http://nedraggett.wordpress.com/2008/04/19/in-memory-of-mike-conley/, http://www.dailypilot.com/articles/2008/03/01/publicsafety/dpt-conleyobit030108.txt and http://www.ocweekly.com/music/music/sprawl-of-sound-mike-conley-1959-2008/28557/. We have one allmusic bio http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:09fyxqw5ldae that is the only source specifically on the band that could be an rs and that's it, but even its naming of the band has been discredited. An EP does not qualify as an album here, it fails criteria 5 of and, and all other criteria currently, and rather than arguing for its notability over a technicality, I think it would make much more sense to create an article for Mike Conley (musician)|Mike Conley and move whatever information from reliable third party sources present to that article and redirect this page there. MIA can be mentioned on that page, although I don't know how long that article would survive either. That is my suggested compromise for now, based on what I've been given to work with

Comment: not only passes #C5, but also #6 (Daly and Arnold were in Big Drill Car) and will definitely pass #4 (nationwide concert tours, but I think any refs for this will be tricky to find on the net).  Having said that, nominating an article which easily sailed through AFD only 6 months ago and has been improved since then (most of the references are NOT primary any more) seems fairly pointless to me

Comment: meets #C5. Only needs to pass 1 of the 12 criteria, which it does
