I confess this is not my specialist subject and bow to the wisdom of others who may be better informed. I came across this page as a Random article. It was badly written, full of cliche and hype, so I proceded to rewrite and tidy up. At the end, I just could not understand what made this band notable, hence this nomination. The article is completely unreferenced and has been since 2006. On the talk page, one reader in 2007 mentioned the lack of references and said, "I know the guys and can vouch for everything on here, unfortunately that would seem to fall into the "own research" category." He promised to obtain sources, but that has never happened. A Google search reveals plenty of links to Youtube and Facebook, as well as sites listing lyrics and the like, but no independent reliable coverage in the press or elsewhere. The article attempts to give notability by association, for example by mentioning guest vocalists (none of whom is notable enough for a Wikipedia article) and other bands that this one has appeared with (ditto). Nothing in the article suggests that the band is notable in and of itself.

The article was previously nominated for deletion in 2005 and was, at that time, deleted. This is clearly a much longer article, but my reading is that the band was deleted previously for lack of notability and I cannot see how that has changed. Emeraude (talk) 10:58, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

I forgot to point out that the article was recreated by User contributions:MuttleyBCS, who is presumably the band member. Emeraude (talk) 11:16, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Only reference I could find only mentioned the band in passing. Article appears to be entirely original research. Samwalton9 (talk) 16:15, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
