Band fails notability criteria. Search did not reveal sufficient material to meet WP:GNG, http://www.allmusic.com/album/celebrate-mw0000226460 and their philanthropic endeavours aside. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:15, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, Celebrate (album) would also have to be deleted. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:18, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both or the other option was moving to the Lizzie McGuire album where Triple Image is mentioned. My searches found nothing aside from Books and adding "Celebrate" to the search "Triple Image pop rap group Florida" confines it to the two Billboard links with browser finding few links and most of the same links. This wordpress talk about them and that they released Japanese albums but says they are obscure and nothing is known about their current whereabouts.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

I have now added an AfD tag to link it to this nomination. SwisterTwister talk 03:33, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete: Eesh, the guidelines are pretty brutal. There is no doubt that they had fame and celebrity, albeit for a housefly's lifespan. The Orlando "teen pop" media center is very professional, and it generates and dispenses with acts more brutally than Don Kirshner. The band was apparently never enough of a band to withstand the artificial inflation/deflation of that "pop" market and never got independent notability.

  • Strong delete on the album (Celebrate): My above motion was intended for the group, which was the primary nomination. However, the album fails if the band fails, and especially if the band fails. What's remarkable in this case is that the band got an enormous amount of publicity and push from a marketing-driven music group, and yet they don't pass GN.

  • Comment – Note that as of 9 June 2015, Celebrate (album) is also nominated for deletion within this nomination as per the above, presumably for not meeting WP:GNG as per the nomination. @Hithladaeus: Bringing this to your attention in case you missed the dual nomination herein; it appears that you may only be !voting on the initial nomination.

  • Keep. There is coverage in Will, Ed (21 February 2003), "Triple Image to make double appearance", Denver Post and Novit, Mel (9 March 2004), "Triple Threat", Chicago Tribune From the later is "And on Feb. 1, they were featured in an hour-long special on NBC's "Dateline."" That was titled Profile: A Star is Born; Three young girls from Orlando attempt careers as pop stars (1 February 2004. Presenter: Stone Phillips. Reporter: Keith Morrison.) and should satisfy WP:BAND#12. They toured Japan twice so there might be some Japanese coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:01, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's a keep for the band. Redirect/smerge the album. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:08, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
How does being the featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national TV network not satisfy "Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network."? How does the significant coverage about them in four independent reliable sources not satisfy GNG ("If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list")? (Four sources are allmusic, NBC's Dateline, Chicago Tribune, Denver Post). duffbeerforme (talk) 07:47, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
One one-hour-special is not "a substantial broadcast segment". Kraxler (talk) 12:36, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have a reference to support the appearance? It's not listed at http://thetvdb.com/?tab=seasonall&id=70600, but the coverage from 2004 is spotty. IMDB seems more complete:http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103396/episodes?year=2004 and it's not there. Between those sources we have
President Bush, Feb. 8, 2004
Power of Faith, Feb. 27 , 2004
Alex Rodriguez and conditions at fast-food restaurants. Feb. 29, 2004
You can see from the Feb 29 show, that there are more than one segment per episode. Just to clarify, was it the full programme or just a segment on Dateline? Did the spot garner additional press? Where's that coverage? To answer your question, it satisfies WP:BAND #12, but not GNG, and meeting any criteria simply presumes notability, it's not a guarantee that a subject is notable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 13:31, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Chicago tribune source above supports the appearance. Transcript of the show is available on Factiva. duffbeerforme (talk) 15:10, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
