The Balham Alligators
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

Kept at last AFD for having two albums for Proper Records, but the label itself is tagged for possible non-notability and is currently prodded. I see nothing at all that would otherwise get this band past WP:NMUSIC — Google News shows only 5 hits, all trivial, and Google Books has only tangential one-sentence mentions. The article hasn't changed one iota since the last AFD, and no more sources have been found than the singular one already there. It just doesn't cut it.

 * Merge with Geraint Watkins. This band seems to be focused around Geraint Watkins with an assortment of other musicians. Why not just merge the salient pieces into the Geraint Watkins article? That would preserve a reference in Wikipedia without giving undue importance to the band. Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:53, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
