I have removed chart positions until this can be proved. Also added ref regarding red label records and iTunes link. (talk) --Noisyboyuk (talk) 08:13, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment This band would pass WP:Music #2 Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart (including genre-specific chart) if the chart positions stated could be proven for 2 songs at #3 and at #5 on UK Rock Chart.  But I am having trouble finding any proof of that.  Cheers.  ♫ Cricket02  (talk) 18:43, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment The fact that the youtube video (I assume this is the official one, but even if not this is the one with the highest number of views) has less than 10k hits would suggest that this may not be true, although I'm not really that familiar with the UK rock chart. Comparitively, this video, the song for which is currently number 10 on the chart, has 500k hits. Searching this database gives no results for this band, which means that, without any other evidence, these claims are incorrect. Benboy00 (talk) 21:39, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * Comment Since the chart positions could not be shown, this artist now does not appear to meet any of the notability guidelines listed in WP:MUSIC. Benboy00 (talk) 16:35, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - I'm unable to find coverage to establish that this group meets WP:GNG or WP:BAND.  Gongshow   talk  00:22, 12 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. and Gongshow, lacks adequate evidence from reliable sources. There may be more out there, but I couldn't find it through the junk. --Bejnar (talk) 00:40, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete, if the bit about headlining international tours was true, then they'd meet WP:MUSIC #4. However, the reference provided doesn't support the claim, and I have not been able to find anything online whatsoever to indicate they've played outside of the UK, which leads me to believe the claim is bollocks.  I think there may be some puffery, exaggeration, and outright lies going into this article.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:04, 15 June 2014 (UTC).
