Fails WP:Band & WP:N guidelines. Per article, they are unsigned. -- Endlessdan 18:42, 22 August 2008 (UTC) *Delete Fails WP:N and WP:BAND, gsearching pulls up quite a few links, but not to any site that is reliable. --Ged UK (talk) 19:19, 23 August 2008 (UTC) I disagree with your assessments, and as such I have added some more "reliable" sources to Man Bites God's wikipedia page in the hope that you will reconsider this deletion. --Newmillennium (talk) 08:28, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete The article seems to be a promotional exercise to promote a non-notable band.-- Lester  22:01, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak keep With reference to WP:BAND, these three articles, all in reliable secondary sources, appear to go at least part-way to meeting criteria #1. Google News confirms they have played in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney, as well as the Edinburgh Festival, which would appear to provide claims regarding criteria #4.

 * comment No idea why Newmillennium added 'kelly clarkson' to my comment, I've removed it. --Ged UK (talk) 08:32, 29 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Changed opinion with addition of new sources. Appears to now meet criterion 4 around touring and possibly criterion 10 around performing theme tune for TV show. --Ged UK (talk) 08:55, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, per sources in major newspapers located by User:Murtoa, band meets the WP:N criteria due to coverage in reliable third-party sources. Lankiveil (speak to me) 23:04, 30 August 2008 (UTC).
