 * Delete: The article has had very little done on it since 2006. Minor changes and clean up for NPOV and such. The "Critical acclaim and quotes" section only links to other Wikipedia articles, as do most of the other links. If valid/verifiable citations and references have not been found during the last two years they probably won't be anytime soon. Soundvisions1 (talk) 19:39, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment – In 2006 Wikipedia was less strict about requiring sources. I'm finding some. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 00:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Keep band per WP:MUSIC, but cut 'n paste merge the album, it still doesn't meet the guidelines.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 23:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: They both fail WP:MUSIC. Schuy m 1  ( talk ) 00:09, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep: multiple links to sources evidencing the band's critical acclaim (thanks to Paul) are now included. I believe the inclusion on Seriously Scottish alone justifies retention within Wikipedia.  Finally, much of the "peacock material" (sic) within my original submission has rightly been removed and the article's style notably improved. Furrypop (talk) 19:10, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The article's subject passes WP:MUSIC criterion #1, with reviews and other non-trivial mentions in major media such as The Guardian, The Scotsman, The Times, and Melody Maker, all now added to the article. Keep. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 19:15, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Besides non-trivial mentions in the national press at their peak, they also recorded several sessions for John Peel and featured twice in his Festive Fifty - see artist page at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/artists/a/acacoustics/ Also, on a purely personal note, they're one of my favourite bands - not that it counts for much but there you go!

 * Keep now that sourcing has shown passing WP:Music.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:51, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
