 * Notable band in the Toronto Music Scene, connected to Fedora Upside Down Sunrise Records the Kensington Market scene and tradition folk music in the city. They play sold out shows with 1000 people : http://www.robteehan.com/the_boxcar_boys/2011/10/fedora-upside-down-festival-.html . Well known in the Canadian music scene. One of the members, Michael Louis Johnson is very well-known, has connections with Broken Social Scene and Leslie Feist. Yohowithrum (talk) 22:07, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It's questionable whether the references mentioned in the article or above meet guidelines for reliable sources. The claim that they are Well known in the Canadian music scene. is not backed up by these or any other sources.  Bands are the one place where notability can be inherited Wikipedia-wise but without an article or further references making the notability of Michael Louis Johnson clear, we cant really use that here to determine the notability of this band.  Are we putting the cart before the horse here?--RadioFan (talk) 22:58, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Keep The sources in question include Now (magazine), Metro News, Canadian Jewish News and various websites. They are well known in the Canadian music scene, however, I have excluded said point from the article itself because I can't find a solid source for that. Based on the recent sources for the band, I judged them notable. I have also added a note of their involvement with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra Could you perhaps provide some advice onto how to improve this article as to avoid its deletion? Thanks!

 * Answering my own question, I looked at the notability guidelines. I found three examples:
 * "7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability." This is supported in the article, the band is known for their unique style and scene and are considered ambassadors for that. The references are in the article.
 * "11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio or music television network." Their song "Lemon Cheeky" has rotation on CBC Radio 3. http://radio3.cbc.ca/#/bands/Lemon-Bucket-Orkestra
 * "12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network." Was broadcast Nationally on CBC Radio by Gilda Salomone.   http://www.rcinet.ca/english/column/gilda-s-playlist/16-05_2011-11-15-nans/  Yohowithrum (talk) 02:40, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
