Non-notable band lacking GHITs and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:BAND.  ttonyb (talk) 22:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

34,600 hits on google, and I would say fulfils 1,7,10 of WP:BAND. Featured on BBC television tonight: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00vt75r --Empanda (talk) 22:58, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Sheer number of Google hits does not count towards notability, particularly when the top hits are Facebook/Myspace/Twitter/etc. Hairhorn (talk) 01:24, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep: I dunno. I was ready to put the smackdown on myself, noting that the top hits on Goggle UK were either on blogs or self-created sites like last.fm and Youtube.  But I kept on going, and they have nearly six hundred unique hits on Google UK.  That's a lot, and they're not completely soft hits; it suggests they meet the "cult status" bar, as well as hitting the "most prominent in the local scene of a city" criterion.

 * Keep Coverage in the Herald  The Scotsman  amongst others. Needs cleaning up, but they're notable.  Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  18:38, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete I found the "under the radar" category more telling than the On-the-radar article title. I also have a hard time determining what is legitimate press in Britain. I ask myself if this band were to break up tomorrow would a wiki article be useful particularly in say 2 years. I doubt anyone would be looking the band up.Eudemis (talk) 06:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment The Herald and The Scotsman are Scotland's two main 'quality broadsheets'. We're not talking local or student press here. Catfish Jim   &#38; the soapdish  07:40, 11 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep and confirm Catfish Jims comments on Scotsman & Herald --Hywel Ashkenazy (talk) 07:49, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Coverage in --  --  and reviews in  -- . Coverage extends outside the British Isles. duffbeerforme (talk) 16:12, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
