fails WP:GNG, a search for sources only came up with the usual unreliable sources such as allmusic, discogs, etc. in fact a google search only came up with 9,690 results.

 * Redirect Not much found for the band, the song that Springsteen covered seems to have much coverage. I'd redirect there. Oaktree b (talk) 22:29, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect per above. Seems appropriate. Darkfrog24 (talk) 02:18, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Weak keep AllMusic is a reliable source as per WikiProject Albums/Sources so we have the short bio there but it doesn't have the usual byline so thats a problem, then there is the Rolling Stone piece in the article and a link to the LA Times archive which suggests there is coverage there but without a direct link so its a weak keep and I haven't done a full search yet, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:52, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Just found quite a bit of LA Times coverage such as this, this, this, and this,Atlantic306 (talk) 23:02, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep per Atlantic306 or merge to Tim Scott McConnell. Disagree with other merge targets. - Indefensible (talk) 00:36, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per Atlantic306. The sources found indicate coverage and passing of GNG. Tails   Wx  01:07, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. The Havalinas were active in the early 1990s.  There is substantial offline coverage. Proquest search returns 329 results in publications ranging from the Chicago Tribune to USA Today. .  (The Wikipedia Library is an amazing resource.)  JSFarman (talk) 16:34, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per Atlantic306 and JSFarman. There is plenty of coverage in RS to meet gng. Jacona (talk) 01:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
