Full disclosure: I'm the original creator, back in 2005 when our notability and sourcing rules were very different than they are today. Under today's wikistandards, however, nothing here constitutes sufficient notability under WP:NMUSIC and none of it is reliably sourceable -- in a ProQuest Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies search, the obituary of one founding member who has his own standalone biography (and probably shouldn't anymore, for the same reasons) is literally the only substantive hit I get outside of local concert listings in the Toronto Star. So it wasn't an unreasonable creation at the time -- but our notability and sourcing rules have been (quite rightly) tightened up a lot in the past decade, and this band now falls on the wrong side of that evolution.

 * Delete as simply none of this is imaginably better for the applicable music notability, unlikely notable local band. SwisterTwister   talk  05:52, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
