Article (re-)created in violation of WP:COI guideline, likely by label One Little Indian employee. May be sufficiently notable (or may be not), but I think it is better to wait for the article to be created without conflict of interest. Delete —Kusma (t·c) 13:42, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Michig. I'm finding in-depth coverage that could be used to fill out the article. Andreas JN466 16:33, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment and weak keep: Actually for whatever reason this article was recreated; the original article was tagged by me as a G12, (copyvio): [1] and an admin deleted it under that same QD reason. An admin who can see these details could verify. I see no reason to delete for a conflict of interest and this version does not seem to have been blatently copied from another's writing.

  • Keep. The fact that the article creator has a COI is not sufficient reason in itself to delete. If the previous version of the article was deleted for copyvio, that shouldn't prejudice the current version so long as it contains no text copied from elsewhere. Now, I only looked at the first page of results for the string ["Wild Palms" "Ex Lion Tamers]" but even that yielded three sources (all themselves notable) which support notability:
  • Murray, Robin (28 January 2011). "Wild Palms Added To Cold War Kids Tour". Clash.
  • Watkeys, Chris (April 2009). "WILD PALMS: From Ex Lion Tamers to Wild Palms, east London is just the beginning". Loud and Quiet. 3 (5).
  • "Wild Palms – Until Spring". Music OMH.com. 7 March 2011.
Combined with the other sources Michig mentioned it looks like more than enough to meet the notability standard, even the more specific guideline for bands. I am already working on other articles Trincres17 (another employee of One Little Indian records) created or wished to have created; perhaps Michig and I can work together to help the Wild Palms (band) article better meet Wikipedia standards. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 12:34, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
