The Revols

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

As far as I can tell from the article, all this band ever did was to play at a club in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1960. No recording or album releases are discussed. &#9679;DanMS 20:53, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. I hereby withdraw my nomination after the extensive improvements and documentation provided by the contributors in building the article. The article looks good now—excellent work by the contributors. We need more editors like this on the Wikipedia. I recommend closing this AFD. &#9679;DanMS 20:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Band itself may have not made it big, but it included many famous musicians who later did larger projects. --Czj 21:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 *  Delete  This is the sort of minor thing that should be mentioned in a footnote to these musicians' articles - "When a teenager, X was once in a short-lived band with Y and Z." Brianyoumans 21:36, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Short lived, but it now appears it deserves an article. --Brianyoumans 06:08, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I can fix this article...

The Revols, have been noted in "People Magazine", written about in at least 3 internationally published novels, and were considered by some, to be the beginning foundation of Canada's contribution to rock'n'roll, with 3 members playing on world wide acclaimed records.

There is infact recordings, The Revols recorded the "First known recording" of Richard Manuel (Bob Dylan. The Band) in 1958, the first song Richard ever wrote.

The recording has currently been handed over to Peter Moore, a famous Canadian engineer / producer (Bruce Coburn, The Cowboy Junkies) and that song "Eternal Love" recorded in 1958, by the Revols will become part of a box set, for Capitol Records, with a working title "Levon and The Hawks" "The Early Years" chronicling some of the first rockn' roll in Canada, as well all of the original, 1st recordings of Richard Manuel songs.

It'll take me some time to dig some of this stuff up, but The Revols, were a pretty important, quite documented band, for the 50's in Canada.

This article "as is" I completely understand why it'd be marked for deletion.... it's just very vague, and poorly written.

If I can have some time, and am able to edit this article, I can supply some valid content, linking these 3 famous musicians together. thanks Qwepasdl 04:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep per above. If you can source those statements and gracefully work them into the article then it would almost certainly pass WP:BAND.  Flakeloaf 02:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
