[Hide this box] New to Articles for deletion (AfD)? Read these primers!
Requesting that this be merged perhaps with Bill Paxtons page. I have tried to find ways to support that this page meets Wikipedia general notability guidelines for musical groups, but the more I try the more I am swayed in the other direction.
1) I have been unable to source information on Martini Ranch aside from their sole album on sites like Discogs, Allmusic. The second album listed does not appear to be Martini Ranch per se so I think fails Wikipedia:Notability_(music) criteria 5. 2) Unable to source any song on the album or the album itself (Holy Cow) on any music chart from any country, criteria 2. 3) The link to the official website under external links does not appear to be relevant to this band. It appears to be in chinese, does not translate under google translate, and appears to be some sort of advertising site, but I am not certain of this. 4) I scoured billboard magazine issues between July 15th 1988 and December 1988 and found only 1 semi-substantial reference to martini ranch, noting only that the song Reach from Holy Cow was under heavy rotation on Night Tracks, a 14 hour per week broadcast show, for 1 week. [1] page 54 (pdf page 70). The only other mention of Martini Ranch is [2] page 46 (pdf page 68) where there is a brief mention of Martini Ranch being in an interview segment for The Beat Goes On. Uncertain whether this is video, audio, or print. 5) I can't find that it necessarily satisfies any of the other notability guidelines.
Please keep in mind that I simply wish to open discussion - for and against the notability (sourced of course). If reliable sources can be found to support it then I am not against keeping it. On my end however I have come short of this, and so am proposing deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckorr2003 ( talk • contribs) 16:37, January 19, 2022 (UTC)
