The Government

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article doesn't make any claims for notability. Just appears to be an extremely obscure band that was active for a couple years in the late 1970s. I could not find any references online. Two of the past members have WP pages and perhaps the page can be turned into a redirect. But I think it fails WP:BAND. mikeman67 (talk) 14:26, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * The article about Billy Bryans is sourced but the band is only briefly mentioned. The other article is mostly unsourced and I'm surprised it has not been proposed for deletion itself. Dimadick (talk) 18:02, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. I looked, but I couldn't find any reliable sources that talk about this band in any depth or specificity. Therefore, this article fails WP:GNG. I would recommend redirecting The Government to Government per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I think most people who type "The Government" into Wikipedia expect to learn about the executive authority in a state rather than an obscure, defunct Canadian band. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 02:24, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete likely as chances are they wouldn't have gotten much coverage with its few years. SwisterTwister   talk  06:30, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
