Fails WP:MUSICBIO. No significant coverage or other indication of notability. Lennart97 (talk) 21:22, 21 December 2021 (UTC)

I now notice this page survived an AfD all the way back in 2005, apparently passing 2005's notability standards. The criteria met were: Lennart97 (talk) 21:32, 21 December 2021 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  23:56, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) One member, Jon Moss, is notable. This is no longer a valid criterion.
 * 2) The band was mentioned in Music Week & the Daily Telegraph. No evidence of this was ever given and I can't find it, but if found this coverage could of course make a difference.

 * Delete - Already mentioned briefly at the Jon Moss article, and that is sufficient. I can find no evidence that this band ever did anything except play a few local gigs. They are mentioned briefly in a few directory sites as a very brief tidbit in Moss's career, and almost always with no supporting information on anything they ever did. If they were mentioned in the major sources described in the 2005 AfD, those were probably minor gig announcements. Does not meet any of the current requirements at WP:NBAND. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 22:38, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: I'd just point out for now that this group may well have three notable members, not one... Wix Wickens has played with some of the biggest names in the industry over the last 40 years (dismissing him as simply "from Paul McCartney" doesn't do his career justice), and I wouldn't be surprised if vocalist Neil McCormick was actually Neil McCormick, the chief music writer of The Daily Telegraph newspaper, who has dabbled in music on and off since the 1970s. This would also explain the mention in the same newspaper... McCormick using his column to plug his own band. That said, even with three notable members forming a "supergroup" of sorts, can we really keep an article with apparently no sources whatsoever, by a band who appear to have never officially released a record, and only played some small gigs? It sounds like a bunch of famous friends playing occasionally just for fun. Richard3120 (talk) 23:52, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
