Lockjaw (band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article does not cite any references; all it has is an external link that just goes to a bunch of memorabilia about the band.--Shaneymike (talk) 16:17, 19 June 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment - Discussion page was created without the afd2 template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I do not have an opinion on the nomination itself at this time.   For future nominations, please fully follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO.  Thanks. -- Finngall   talk  15:33, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment A Google Books search shows they get some coverage in books etc on The Cure and in the more encyclopedic volumes on punk, but still a redirect to Simon Gallup, later of the Cure and seemingly Lockjaw's only notable member would be a sensible alternative if more in-depth sources can't be found. NOTE: Should not be confused with Portland, Oregon Oi/skinhead/punk band Lockjaw. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:39, 28 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Comment Yeah, that was another point I was going to bring up. The only notable member is Simon Gallup. A redirect is probably best but I'll wait to hear if anyone else would care to add to this discussion. Shaneymike (talk) 14:38, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Simon Gallup based on my own digging for sources and the discussion above. Allmusic has a brief bio on them, which is more than I can say about most non-notable bands, but like every other source I found, it says little more than it's the band Gallup was in before the Cure. -- Finngall   talk  16:41, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
