No sourcing to indicate notability. It was just about to be deleted via prod but then a driveby, mass de-prodder removed it without making improvements. - Co rb ie V    ☊ ☼ 16:23, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm attempting to bundle in the band members articles, but am bungling the template. Would appreciate a fix. They are: Articles for deletion/Dugan McNeill and Articles for deletion/Johnny Donaldson. Former member Yanni has his own career and article, and seems notable. Drummer Charlie Adams (drummer) might be notable for his charity work and work with other musicians. But if for any reason this band article is kept, I think all of these but Yanni should be merged into it. - Co rb ie V    ☊ ☼ 16:41, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep as the band is notable for their innovative drum set, also article claims their albums charted. The book referenced in the article seems to be a reliable source to support WP:GNG. Atlantic306 (talk) 19:02, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't have a view on the other articles on Dugan McNeill, and Johnny Donaldson.Atlantic306 (talk) 19:07, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete at best as I'm simply finding nothing else better and the article is overall still questionable. SwisterTwister   talk  05:28, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 00:25, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: Sufficient indicia of notability, several band members when on to other relative fame, the 70s being pre-internet era, most material will be older sources.  Good example of watching your recentism... just because they aren't easy to Google doesn't mean a lack of notability.   Montanabw (talk)  21:34, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Most of the individual members seem notable, and as Montanabw said above, the majority of reliable sources will be in print media because of when they were active. White Arabian Filly  Neigh 14:32, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
