I can find mention to some articles, here, but I can't find a charting by them. Wikipedia Facebook and MySpace account for most of the info I can find. Murry1975 (talk) 21:18, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. They don't need to have charted to be notable. They have an entry in The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, which should be enough on its own, and with additional coverage from Kerrang! and Hot Press , notability isn't really in doubt here. --Michig (talk) 09:51, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * They need multiple in depth sources to be notable. Do reviews of albums count? Albums that weren't released until after they split, or didn't chart? Right now nothing is a reliable source in the article, they never had a hit, and gave interviews on release of these records. A very close call in my opinion, the The Encyclopedia of Popular Music, makes it so, not the Kerrang or Hot Press interviews. Murry1975 (talk) 14:30, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, reviews count. And they received quite a bit of print coverage that isn't online. The Hot Press one is a review, not an interview. --Michig (talk) 07:01, 24 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete at best for now and Draft and Userfy if needed as all of this is still questionably solid for better improvements. SwisterTwister   talk  04:48, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and Draft and Userfy? You're not making much sense here. --Michig (talk) 07:01, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
 * See WP:NOEFFORT. Also note that topic notability is not based upon whether or not articles are improved. See also WP:NEXIST. North America1000 12:35, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment. Pet Lamb also recorded 2 Peel sessions for the BBC . --Michig (talk) 12:48, 25 March 2016 (UTC)..a Melody Maker review, and further coverage is reproduced here and here - probably not all reliable sources, but certainly enough are. --Michig (talk) 13:03, 25 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - I wouldn't place this band at the top of my playlist, nor will I ever listen to any of their recordings, but the sources are reliable (some are indeed highly reliable); therefore, their notability is valid for an encyclopedic entry in Wikipedia. However, someone should take the time to add those reliable sources to the article; otherwise, other good faith AFD requests may come up in the future.-- MarshalN20 T al k 04:12, 2 April 2016 (UTC)
