The Great Lakes Myth Society
This was tagged for speedy deletion, but has enough going for it that I listed it here instead (mostly because I noticed I had done some formatting on it before, and since I hadn't tagged it then, I figured there had to be a reason). Gets 2 hits on google news, 25000 on google, has an amg entry, the album's listed on amazon with some reviews. - Bobet 21:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notable enough per Bobets research. --Ezeu 23:19, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete An advanced google search turns up 707 pages, many of which are blogs and mirrors. Fails WP:MUSIC as they have only released one album, and one a very minor indie label at that.  The AMG profile is just a review of the one album.  Kill The Original Brothers and Sisters of Love too, as a double redirect.  T e  k e  01:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per failing WP:MUSIC - no charted hits, no national tours, not finding multiple non-trivial articles by third-parties. Not that I would criticize  T e  k e 's research, but my Google of "great lakes myth society" got only 415 distinct hits, which anyways verifies that end of things.  Yes, they've got an album listed with Amazon, but that in itself doesn't meet WP:MUSIC, and the album is ranked down around their sixty-one-thousandth.  Tychocat 09:54, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment on the above 2 deletes: "Great Lakes Myth Society" gets 24,300 hits for me, the "distinct hits" above is misleading since it means distinct hits among the first 1000 hits, it's the way google works. - Bobet 11:40, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The Fickle Nature of Google Today a search for the exact phrase turns up 627 hits for "The Great Lakes Myth Society."  MUSIC was my point of failure, I just used google to make sure that there is not some underground spread of the group.  T e  k e  16:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Google isn't THAT fickle, lose the "the" (or just click on Great-lakes-myth-society). And my original comment wasn't meant as a retort to your comments, I was just leaving a note for posterity's sake, much like I'm doing here. - Bobet 19:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
