Toe Head

DO NOT DELETEAs set forth by the WP criteria for musicians and ensembles. This band meets, and exceeds all criteria set forth by WP Music (Notability) e.g. #1. “It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.[1]” - All press releases from Fender, Rhino Records, and Ocean Pacific USA for their signing to Fender Records. Although run in 2002, still searchable on any major search engine. Also, available from their website

9. “Has won or placed in a major music competition”- Nationwide Fender/Op Emerging Artist Contest. Although run in 2002 still searchable on any major search engine.

10. “Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a compilation album, etc. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article)”- Three Toe Head songs with over one year of rotation on FOX Network’s Fuel Channel “Project Detention 2003” and “Project Detention 2004”

11. “Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network”- All FM stations available form their Website.

Also, as for endorsement deals, SWR (also owned by Fender USA) searchable on the SWR website (bass player’s real name: Jason Roberts (AKA Billy-Ray J) listed playing for Toe Head). OCDP website (drummer’s real name: Pat Leon listed for Toe Head), etc. All “verifiable”. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.101.104.146 (talk) 07:34, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DO NOT Delete All band artist deals, and endorsements are legitimate, I know this because I work for Fender. Check Rhino records for Toe Head. You will see them on the Fender/OP Emerging Artist Cd. Just because you have not heard of them, or are not a fan, does not diminish their popularity, or legitimacy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.177.124.123 (talk) 23:47, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note--that is not the way to do it. This evidence, if such there is, should be a part of the article. That is how encyclopedias work: they give verified and verifiable information. Whether nay-sayers here are fans or not is completely beside the point. Please do not tell the reader or the editors to go check that information; included it if you revert those edits again. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 20:56, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, doesn't seem to meet WP:NMG. Stifle (talk) 11:02, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete They aren't listed on the billboards anywhere, so never had a hit song. Are any of the awards they claim to have won, notable? Dream Focus (talk) 12:49, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 04:33, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete--one of those cases where the really low level of writing in the article hurts the subject. But to get to the matter, even if those awards are real, they are local and not very notable, and likewise for their reviews. BTW, those endorsements from Fender, do they hand those out like candy? I mean, is Stevie Ray Vaughan's spirit playing for this band? These endorsements have to be exaggerations. Drmies (talk) 01:23, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
