Another admin restored this after deletion but seems to think that references are unnecessary. &mdash; RHaworth 22:55, 1 April 2011 (UTC) &mdash; RHaworth  22:55, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
 * keep. There are multiple reliable sources covering this, and verifying their claims of releasing music on a notable independent label, which WP:MUSIC considers evidence of notability. You should know this better than anyone, RHaworth; after all, the multiple, reliable sources were left on your talkpage. A pity you didn't think to do anything about it, or even acknowledge the receipt of the message. Ironholds (talk) 01:01, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: I wonder why the nominator didn't just add the sources that he had access to?  Wouldn't that be a better solution than deleting a viable article?  Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 01:04, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I did not have access to the sources at the time I deleted it and I did acknowledge receipt of the message. &mdash; RHaworth 03:34, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * My apologies, I worded my question poorly: I should have said "Wouldn't that be a better solution than opening an AFD on a viable article?"  Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 11:43, 2 April 2011 (UTC)


 * So you saw that there were references. Why, then, is this at AfD? Ironholds (talk) 03:59, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. There appears to be plenty of coverage around to confirm notability, with several news articles found from a Google News search. The nominator should consider including an argument for deletion in future when bringing articles here rather than just criticising another editor. A lack of references can be fixed by editing and there is no other argument presented relating to the subject of the article.--Michig (talk) 06:46, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable band, the article being a stub is not a reason to delete it! Od1n (talk) 09:33, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I tried to improve the article by adding a short history of the band with some references... It's far from perfect but I think, with some time, I could add how they worked with Colin Richardson, when they recorded their third album in the UK, the evolution of their style, how they tried to record a song with Michel Houellebecq (and failed), etc Eleventh1 (talk) 09:45, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
