Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/M.I.A. (band) (2nd nomination)
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
