Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/"The Sorts"
I initially created the page.  I've created only one other Wikipedia page in the past and haven't participated in a discussion like this before, so I'm not entirely sure how to proceed.  I believe there are two rationales in favor of The Sorts' notability.  First, although I appreciate that "notability isn't inherited," the band's members have been in several other notable bands with Wikipedia pages, including The Boom and Hoover.  More generally The Sorts are members of an active musical community whose work has been deemed notable; this is even more evident in http://bandtoband.com/index.php?Page=Search&BandId=1459 The Sorts' listing on BandtoBand.com.  This would seem to meet the criteria defined in #6.  Second, The Sorts' catalog has been released on labels that are also recognized by Wikipedia, including Southern Records and Slowdime Records.  Although The Sorts are certainly obscure, their music has been recognized and promoted by people and organizations that have been deemed notable.  This would seem to meet the criteria defined in #5
