The Bad Spellers
Can't see that it meets WP:BAND; also appears to violate WP:VANITY

 * Keep - with shows in Japan and the U.S., meets touring requirement of WP:MUSIC... also, no proof it violates WP:VANITY (yes, the author's username is the same as a band member, but that could be an homage, and not necessarily the musician himself... couldn't I just as easily call myself User:Bono and start editing the U2 article?)

 * Comment Here is their list of shows. While they have played in multiple countries, they haven't gone on an "international tour" in the traditional sense, so it's not clear they meet WP:BAND (the burden of proof is on the article to satisfy the requirements). Fireplace 16:06, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I have seen the list of shows. If that is all it takes to go on an "international tour", Wikipedia is soon to be flooded with entries by every Seattle/Vancouver band with gas money. Neier 22:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep —  I'm satisfied that they are (just about) international enough M  a  rtinp23  20:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep but needs to be wikified and copyedited. Baseball,Baby!   balls  •  strikes  22:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete for now. Doesn't meet WP:BAND per discussion above. Fireplace 22:27, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per parsssseltongue, Martinp23, and BaseballBaby. --HResearcher 02:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete misses WP:band; loose definition of international tour. And taking into consideration possible vanity, the record can be re-created if they more fully meet the standards. --Kunzite 01:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per above comments. Mallanox 23:06, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
