Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dawntreader
The only  criterion they can really hope to pass is #1 — but the sources present here, while not terrible ones, aren't enough to ''clear'' NMUSIC #1 all by themselves if they're ''all'' we can do, and I can't find anything better either: even on a ProQuest search to find older coverage more contemporaneous to their period of activity, I still couldn't find anything but routine concert listings in Vancouver's local media (and irrelevant text matches on the C.S. Lewis novel, a Joni Mitchell song or a visual artist named Angela Dawntreader.) And we can't check off #11 just because the article claims that the band got playlisted on CBC Radio 3, either — the claim is completely |unverifiable, because literally every single aspect of R3's old website that was once helpful in establishing or supporting NMUSIC notability for a band or musician (like the ability to check old playlogs or ''R3-30'' charts to verify whether they ever really played a song or not) was thrown in the digital trashcan when it got swallowed up by the larger CBC Music website. It's not the ''claim'' to passing NMUSIC that gets a band into Wikipedia, it's the quality of the ''referencing'' that can be shown to properly ''support'' that the claim to passing NMUSIC is ''true'' — but the sourcing shown here isn't enough, and I can't find anything better
