Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James McKenty and the Spades
By only comparing the guidelines set at and to what is currently out there on the band, they do not meet the criteria for "notability". I do find minor mentions is article, minor in that it is either a listing of upcoming concerts or reprints/variations of a press release for the tour. I also can find reviews of some of the albums  However all of this combined still does not fully meet the "Notability" guidelines. As a comment I will say the singer (not the band) won The Peterborough Folk Festivals ''Emerging Artist Award'' in 2002, which, according to the description of the award, gives the winner a "''showcase spots on the festival weekend, a guaranteed spot on the festival main stage the following year, a Sonicbids account, and a trip to the Ontario Council of Folk Festivals' annual conference in October. The award is granted to an artist by the Artistic Director based on assessment of skill, dedication, and artistic merit.''" Not a major award as defined by the guidelines, but not fully non-notable either
