The Freshies
Tagged for speedy as unverifiable, but that's not a speedy criterion - although I agree, it's unverifiable. Claims would be very significant if true, though. Just zis Guy you know? 14:24, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as this appears to be true. See, for example, , and . Of course, the article needs to be sourced and improved. Gw e rnol 14:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * STRONG KEEP as a longtime Frank Sidebottom fan, I personally know this to be true. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  14:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: They "pre-dated the self-financing ethic of punk ..."?  Err, this band did this in 1978?  That's long after punk started.  RGTraynor 14:40, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * In context, that refers to the band founding its own label, which is common enough these days but quite unusual for the time (although obviously they weren't the first). Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  19:36, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - the claims need to be sourced but still a well-known and revered UK punk band. Ac@osr 17:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEMES?) 22:05, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable band, needs sources though. --Ter e nce Ong 04:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep – assuming suitable sources can be found and referenced – Gurch 13:38, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless verified. Stifle (talk) 21:35, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 14:12, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
