Previously deleted in 2006, still not notable, still has yet to sign with a label, releases their music on their own. There are lots of references, but none of them seems to actually prove notability. Little Red Riding Hood  talk  19:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep: band have done numerous tours both in the uk and played abroad, although self release music - that is the way most are going. wikipedia states touring to be notable. 17:05, 24 December 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.158.209.169 (talk)  — 86.158.209.169 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Weak Delete: WP:BAND #1 would have possibly provided a reason for keeping the article, as I can find one newspaper article that the band has been featured in, however it is only one. http://www.wirralnews.co.uk/wirral-news/local-wirral-news/2008/12/03/energetic-fun-the-blueprint-for-hits-80491-22386778/ In addition to that source, there is a reference in the WP article to two different articles in The Sun, however they fail the second exception to WP:BAND #1. All other sources appear to fail WP:BAND. Therefore, I recommend deletion at this time, unless further articles can be obtained.Jo7hs2 (talk) 01:15, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Borderline notable, & WP:BAND seems a wee bit over-vigilant to me. Could do with a dose of NPOV ("insightful" lyrics etc.)   Franciscrot (talk) 01:53, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak keep – I agree that they seem to be borderline notable. In addition to what's already been found, I found an article by an Amercian music critic who called the band's song "You Won't Get Much Sleep" one of her top favorite songs of 2007.

 * Speedy Keep. I agree that they seem to be borderline notable. WP:BAND seems a wee bit over-vigilant to me. Could do with a dose of NPOV ("insightful" lyrics etc.) though. -- MISTER ALCOHOL  TC 05:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep: Note the band have released material on a signed and official record label which is recognised and chart eligible. This band have undertaken UK and Europe tours, which is accepted by Wikipedia as notable. The band in debate have also placed in the finals of 2 major music competitions (WP:BAND #9), been part of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network (WP:BAND #12) and had an inclusion on a compilation album (WP:BAND #10). All of which fill the Wikipedia acceptance criteria.
