Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because Speedy Ortiz has been featured in many music publications, most notably Pitchfork Media. Their debut album was given high ratings, including the "Best New Music" tag by Pitchfork. --Rank Penguin (talk) 07:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell us about the other media appearances, because if they exist this may be worth keeping. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:12, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because: I originally supplied several links over a year ago. Must I continue to supply links? https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=speedy+ortiz&tbm=nws

Consequence of Sound, SPIN, NPR, Paste Magazine, Pitchfork! Honestly, I don't see why this is being contested. Speedy Ortiz has received high critical praise for quite some time, and are relatively popular, with over 20k likes on Facebook.

Are mainstream music publications not relevant enough? Also, bear in mind this is from literally just the last month. When I created this page they had already received much acclaim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rank Penguin (talk • contribs) 07:32, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
