Rhythm Activism

Band appears to fail general notability guidelines. I looked in French and English and struggled to find decent reliable secondary sources covering the subject significantly. SarahStierch (talk) 21:47, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:Band # 5 and #10. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Argolin (talk • contribs) 13:00, 31 October 2013‎ (UTC)
 * Keep per sourcing improvements. What happened here is that this article was created a long time ago, when Wikipedia's sourcing requirements weren't nearly as strict as they are now, and it just never got added to as the rules tightened up. Although some of the newly added references are actually primary sources and should still be upgraded to the better kind, enough of them (Voir, Library and Archives Canada, etc.) are valid to demonstrate that they do indeed meet WP:BAND criteria.

 * Keep – WIth enough available sourcing added, the subject passes WP:BAND criterion #1, or the WP:GNG. In addition to Voir, there is also coverage in Eye Weekly here, a little bit in Joey Keithley's book I, Shithead: A Life in Punk (p. 179), and with offline searches I've found coverage in the Waterloo Region Record (Reid, Robert. "Montreal's Rhythm Activism advance causes with theatrics", 25 November 1998: E10), in New Internationalist ("Rhythm Activism. Blood & mud", New Internationalist 269 (July 1995): 32), in Briarpatch ("Jesus Was Gay", Briar Patch 33.4 (May 2004): 31), and The Vancouver Sun (Mackie, John. "Rock and rant: duo plays raw music with a message", 18 February 1988: C12) among others. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 21:27, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
