Non-notable music project lacking references to support WP:MUSIC and lacking GHIts and GNEWS of substance. References are mostly blog entries, posts, or other non-independent items. reddogsix (talk) 19:38, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is coverage at Alternative Press, including an album review and "profiles" on the band inside the magazine. Similarly, Rock Sound has coverage both online and in print. There is also a staff review at Sputnikmusic. On the whole, there looks to be sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:BAND. That said, I agree that the article in its current state relies quite heavily on unreliable sites, and most of the band's studio albums/EPs should not have individual articles.

Keep - VersaEmerge are fairly well known within their genre and, as Gongshow wrote, has had coverage in magazines such as Rock Sound and Alternative press. They have toured internationally and have quite a large fanbase - I do not see why this is up for deletion. I agree that the sources are weak, but there are many more credible sources out there that can be substituted for the current ones. I suggest this be cleaned up, but kept! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.161.227.119 (talk) 02:52, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
