Proposed deletion of Last November

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Last November, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:18, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Last November is a notable band. There is no reason to delete this article.

They are currently nominated "Top 40 Group of the Year" by New Music Weekly, a very notable Radio charting magazine. Their single is at number 63 on the top 100 chart for NMW as well. Robert pillgraham (talk) 20:58, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, the band is not notable. You have provided no specific references to verify what you have written. The only independent reference you provided, New Music Weekly, does not link to anything that specifically mentions the band — it just links to the home page of the site, and a search of the site turns up nothing about the group. The other citations are to AllMusic which merely proves the band exists, the band's MySpace (see this page), and the label's web site page about the band. None of those can be considered reliable, independent sources because they are controlled by the band itself, its label, or others with a vested interest in the band. Wikipedia requires independent, reliable sources.

This band is not signed by a major label or well-known indie. It has not placed a song on a major chart. It does not inherit notability from its producers or anyone outside the band itself. Therefore, it fails Wikipedia's notability policies for bands and the article should be deleted. Since you removed the {{prod}} tag, I will now formally nominate this for AfD. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:13, 2 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The New Music Weekly link does mention the band. It is a voting page. Therefore you have to click on the drop down menu which lists the nominees for "new top 40 group of the year" Last November is listed there along with Seether and other notable acts.

Specify what a well-known indie label is. Southern Tracks Records has had very notable artists in the past. Southern Tracks Records also owns Bill Lowery Music Publishing Group which has thousands of songs in its catalogue including Last Novembers songs. Bill Lowery was an extremely important figure in Georgia's music history and was the first non-performer inducted into the georgia music hall of fame. Therefore, Southern Tracks Records is a notable independent label.

The New Music Weekly Charts are notable and respected charts. Last November's new single impacted only a few weeks ago and is at number 63 on the top 100.

Robert, are you related to Luke Pilgrim? How did you hear of this band, and what is your relationship to it? Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 03:26, 3 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
