 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles 02:11, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep - This group has an entry in the Canadian Pop Encyclopedia; written about in The Age, described as an "influential Canadian blues band" in this article; covered in this book; this Leader-Post article. -- Whpq (talk) 21:04, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Keep this book (mostly autobiographical) says they had a top ten single. Billboard said "McKenna Mendelson Mainline scheduled for early August appearances in Detroit and Windsor. Their new Liberty album, "Stink," rising on the charts." This book suggests coverage in Nicholas Jennings - Before the Gold Rush - Viking - 1997. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:02, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. and as above.  I've added one inline citation from the Canadian Pop Encyclopedia page per WP:V and WP:INCITE.  There is a lot more to be added per WP:HASPOT.  Added a small amount in the opening to help WP:NM.  The article had two references.  Are the two noted not acceptable as sources?  There are more on-line sources to be had.  I like this one:   Library and Archives Canada.  Unfortunately, it is down at the moment.  The article needs WP:IFY.  I added the band's two albums to a new discography section.  The article satisfies criteria per WP:BAND 5.  Keeping this article is an automatic keep on the other two per WP:BAND 6. Argolin (talk) 09:32, 21 January 2011 (UTC).

Comment: I'd like to point out that this listing for luke and the apostles, along with mckenna mendelson mainline  and mike mckenna have been up and active on Wikipedia for quite sometime without any "out of the blue" flagging for possible deletion notices. mckenna gibson band listing has been revamped to be less "promotional". I personlly did not post the original pages for the apostle or mainline  material  although i did add to the mckenna mendelson mainline page. If the pages need citations then i will have to dig around and update them accordingl but this will take some time. I would like to suggest that not one, but all three of these listings coincide with some "personal issues" on the part of an individual once "involved"  so i would be interested to learn if one individual brought all these listings to an administrators notice.User:eastleaf  Also Im not sure if i have psoted my thoughts here correctly, so would appreicate knowing the correct protocol. —Preceding undated comment added 13:43, 23 January 2011 (UTC).
