This article fails all criteria of WP:MUSIC. I recently prod'd the article, but it was removed with no edits being made towards making it pass any of this criteria. SteelersFanUK06  ReplyOnMine!   23:51, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Wait--you already nominated this for deletion, right? Drmies (talk) 15:26, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but i usually add a line in here as well as the commentary at the top as people seem to overlook that i am voicing my opinion. I'm not sure the notability of the works with the exception of the Guardian article, i think this needs to be reviewed. --SteelersFanUK06  ReplyOnMine!   16:28, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. Drmies (talk) 20:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Criteria #1 of WP:MUSIC requires that a band "... has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works..." which is what I added links to when I removed the prod tag. Is there something wrong with all of those references? Yes, it's still a stub, but the notability should no longer be in question. (??) -- Quiddity (talk) 02:04, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep--Quiddity is correct; nom. may have been a bit quick on the draw. While not all of the sources are really notable, in-depth, etc., the Guardian article alone is almost enough for WP:N. Combine that with the other halfway-decent sources (you know what I mean, Quiddity: an article in Pitchfork is not exactly like an article in Rolling Stone, and the NME article is far from in-depth), and I think you have notability. BTW, kudos to the band's label for NOT filling the page with PR nonsense. Drmies (talk) 15:26, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Rjd0060 (talk) 15:46, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep Personally, I dislike filling Wikipedia with semi-notable musical groups, artists, songs, albums, bands, etc. However, according to the established guidelines for WP:MUSIC and WP:N, this meets the criteria.  Should be kept due to sources provided, though some of them are a little weak.  Theseeker4 (talk) 15:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Unnotable group. I see no evidence of notability established through multiple, non-trivial publications. Eusebeus (talk) 19:58, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, easily passes WP:MUSIC. The last time I looked, the Guardian, NME, and Allmusic reviews were classed as reliable sources.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 04:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fairly badly in the need of expansion, but the references provided do establish a passable case for notability under WP:MUSIC (particularly the Guardian and WNYC stories). Nsk92 (talk) 20:08, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
