 * Delete. I found nothing that could properly meet WP:RS to support notability; perhaps why the article has no references. Probably a WP:A7. Britishfinance (talk) 00:47, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * keep. Notable in that it was a Skeeter Thompson band and a band that a lot of Little Rock musicians played in. The_stuart (talk) 15:03, 10 February 2019 (UTC)
 * notability is not inherited – just because Skeeter Thompson is now in a famous band doesn't mean his previous bands are automatically notable. And there is no evidence that everyone in the Little Rock local scene was involved, or that any of them are notable either. Richard3120 (talk) 16:13, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete The article provides no sources to back up any claims, and a google search turns up nothing. If the argument is that their activity predates internet sourcing, their sole album release alone doesn't qualify them in that no reliable source databases shows any evidence of coverage, reviews, sales, chart activity, etc. Bottom line: bands are not entitled to a wikipedia article based on mere existence.

 * Redirect to Skeeter Thompson article and thus preserve the history if no credible references can be found. I'm sure some aspect of this group will be referenced or linked in other artricles Karl Twist (talk) 09:34, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete no references and search doesn't find anything significant, we have an article about one member but that could be redirected as there's only one reference and that's coverage of the notable band he was also a member of. Peter James (talk) 18:22, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Skeeter Thompson per WP:ATD-R as an unsuitable article with a useful title. Bakazaka (talk) 00:06, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
