  • Delete They have had some local interest, but there is nothing beyond that. Modern Radio Record Label is not good enough four wp:music, three notable bands (being nice to Selby Tigers) (not counting Motion City Soundtrack and Yellow Swans (an appearence on a compilation or a split 7" does not part of their roster make) is not "a roster of performers, many of whom are notable" duffbeerforme (talk) 14:01, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
  • Struck due to further info below. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:34, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
  • :Modern Radio released a 7" - not a split - from Motion City Soundtrack, before they went on to sign with Epitaph and later Capitol Records. Yellow Swans have released a full-length CD and a split 7" on Modern Radio. In addition, Mirah has released a 7" and a CD on the label, The Plastic Constellations have released two (one in conjunction with Frenchkiss Records, and William Elliott Whitmore appeared on a "compilation" of bands that he toured with, including Jenny Hoyston from Erase Errata on the label. While Modern Radio might seem like a novel, boutique interest outside of the Midwest, the label has existed for over 11 years, has released over 50 records, and is considerably reknowned in and around the midwest. STNNNG, having released three full-length albums on the label, could be considered their flagship band. As previously mentioned, their fanbase extends far beyond Minneapolis, and many reviews of their latest album in France[http://www.nextclues.com/index.php?affiche=L3JlY29yZHNfc2VsZWN0ZWQucGhwP2lkcmVjb3Jkcz01MDg1 1], [http://666rpm.blogspot.com/2010/12/stnnng-smoke-of-my-will.html 2], [http://www.positiverage.com/reviews/reviews457.html 3], [http://www.perteetfracas.org/zine/kros2010/kros_s/stnnngsmoke.htm 4], and [http://www.ox-fanzine.de/web/home.cfm?p=375 Germany] support that. Of course, there's still plenty of interest nationally, too ([http://still-single.tumblr.com/post/1421024128/stnnng-the-smoke-of-my-will-lp-modern-radio 1], [http://www.verbicidemagazine.com/2010/11/15/stnnng-the-smoke-of-my-will/ 2], [http://www.builtonaweakspot.com/2010/10/stnnng-the-smoke-of-my-will-lp.html 3] as some examples). Even Allmusic.com, a widely-recognized source for music knowledge, has a review of their last album, [http://allmusic.com/album/fake-fake-r937709 Fake Fake]. All this said, I think there is sufficient evidence online that STNNNG is a band that generates more than mere local interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Congress (talk • contribs) 21:09, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep. The coverage detailed above is sufficient to establish notability. This debate has, incidentally, [http://www.avclub.com/twincities/articles/music-notes-internet-to-determine-how-notable-stnn,48816/ made the news].--Michig (talk) 06:42, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

*Delete If there is notable coverage lets actuly see it, not just be told its there (by the wat sources have to be RS). We need inline citations demonstrating notability, also see wp:music. Also the artciel about this is blatant off wiki canvasing. I sugest that some admins look into this.Slatersteven (talk) 13:34, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep per [http://minnesota.publicradio.org/display/web/2010/10/22/stnnng/ Minnesota Public Radio] coverage.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:46, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

:Looks like two RS (I am assuming that MPR is considerd RS< i have no idea about a local radio station in the US) Sp I will change to *Waek keep.Slatersteven (talk) 13:51, 22 December 2010 (UTC)'''

::I'd definitely call Minnesota Public Radio an RS -- they're a large network of stations, not just a local station, and they're closely associated with American Public Media. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:10, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep Source noted by SoV looks very solid.--Cube lurker (talk) 18:00, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

::To add to Paul Erik's point above, I found a write-up of a show they played in Denver in Denver's Westword weekly newspaper. [http://www.westword.com/2008-10-02/music/the-stnnng/ This source] provides additional support that they've toured beyond their home state of Minnesota. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Congress (talk • contribs) 22:50, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

  • Keep, considering the improved sourcing. bobrayner (talk) 23:42, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
