Th' Inbred

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Sources are all primary plus one dead link, and the article is written suspiciously like WP:GARAGEBAND. Inter change  able | talk to me  00:00, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep All the sources already there—Trouser Press, Artcore #7, and the label Alternative Tentacles— indicate notability. 86.44.40.0 (talk) 17:59, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * All the primary sources are there. The band's record label, a dead link, and some rock band blog are not reliable, third-party sources. Inter  change  able | talk to me  19:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Could you be more clear? The sources cited are the RS Trouser Press, the longrunning zine Artcore, and the notable independent label. I am suggesting to you that these indicate notability. 86.44.40.0 (talk) 20:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Mea culpa; the "dead link" was a browser error on my part. Anyway, I would doubt the reliability of sources that cater specifically to rock. While those pieces of coverage are definitely more than a passing mention, I doubt their reliability: an interview hovers on a primary source, and I doubt that TrouserPress article too which seems to paint them in too much of a good light. In any case, if more people agree with you I will withdraw the nomination. Inter  change  able | talk to me  23:43, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
 * you would doubt the reliability of sources that cater specifically to rock? I'm not sure you've thought that through. I wonder what medical articles would look like minus specialist sources. At any rate, i have scared up some more generalist sources.

 * Keep per sources cited by 86.44.40.0. A GBooks search also indicates (albeit in snippets) there may be more useful material out there. With two albums on Alternative Tentacles and a selection of independent coverage, it looks like this is a worthwhile contribution to the encyclopedia's coverage of the history of punk rock. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:34, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
