Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lotus (rock band)
Based on the interview in http://www.relix.com Relix it could be a keeper but  does say "multiple non-trivial published works". '''Comments''': Most of the other items listed fall under the "except" (i.e - do not use for notability) section in , Criteria for musicians and ensembles, number one, "except for the following" section. I am also still not 100% on the "short album review" = "Notability of a band" concept. Also here are some links to compare the given citations with - http://www.madisonhousepublicity.com/downloads/lotus.downloads/lotus.pressrel.011808.pdf. "LOTUS ANNOUNCES THEIR “COPY PASTE REPEAT” TOUR" Press release in PDF format, http://www.madisonhousepublicity.com/midpages/copypages/lotus.copyapges/lotus.bio.html "Lotus Bio" and http://www.madisonhousepublicity.com/midpages/copypages/lotus.copyapges/lotus.pressrel.html "Lotus Current Press releases" all direct from their publicity firm. Doing a search for various phrases contained in them will yield returns of articles, but that does not mean they should be cited to establish "Notability". Concert listings combined with sections of a bio still fall under , Criteria for musicians and ensembles, number one. The link given above to "metrosprit" is the press release discussing a local concert date but does mention that "''Lotus is currently being featured on the cover of Pollstar – The Concert Hotwire and highlighted as an immerging act to catch on tour''". So I went to http://www.pollstar.com Pollstar and did a search you got a http://www.pollstar.com/tour/searchall.pl?By=Artist&Content=LOTUS&PSKey=Y listing of their tour dates and a http://www.pollstar.com/news/viewnews.pl?NewsID=11093 Press release with the tour dates, along with several mini links that link back to those sections. I had to dig to find it but it does exist - http://www.pollstar.com/news/viewhotstar.pl?Artist=LOTUS Lotus but it does not seem to say anywhere that they are an "emerging band to catch on tour". What this is, and it is very important to keep in mind that this is a trade magazine that caters to promoters and live venues, is a combination of interviews with the bands booking agent, their manager, the bands bass player and press releases. Yes it is somewhat "Notable" to have this feature in Pollstar however it contains hype provided people who are not "independent from the musician/ensemble itself
