 * Keep. First off, this is a perfect example of how not to write an AfD nomination (see WP:GHITS). Second, was a BEFORE done on this? There's stand-alone article coverage from multiple RS (not just mentions): The Bay Area Reporter, which calls them "groundbreaking" here; the Los Angeles Times, which stated they were at the "forefront of gay-oriented music" here; The Advocate here; and the Dallas Observer, which stated the act had been together 14 years as of 1996 here. They received a Heritage Award from Outmusic in 2003 (ref here); their CD Brave Boys was a best seller according to The Advocate (refs here and here). Their music is also referenced in LGBTQ academia (as seen you536&bih=722&dpr=1.25 here). Easy keep for me. --Kbabej (talk) 02:38, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
