The Soul Survivors (Denver Band)

Do not mistake this with the Pennsylvania band, this group had no charting singles are barely mentioned in any sources. Two sources are a variation of discogs and the other two are for another band. Clearly fails notability.ABriefPassing (talk) 20:41, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

 * KEEP: The Soul Survivors from Denver can be considered notable. This band was effectively the group who would team up with Randy Miesner to form the Poor.  Two of their members later went on to play on New Riders of the Purple Sage  Well-known historian Richie Unterberger did a biographical write-up on this band in AllMusic.  I also included book references from Mike Markesich's Teenbeat Mayhem.  I am not closed to the possibility of merging the article with the one on the Poor, but deletion should not be an option.  But even if kept as a stand-alone article, it has its merits. Garagepunk66 (talk) 03:19, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge or keep - Although there is a point that some references are toward another band, it does help chronologically tell the story about all bands. At the very least, a merger should be allowed since it ties in with The Poor.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:03, 12 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep  refers to such a group in Denver, for example.  ditto.   Looks like they meet WP notability standards as a result. Collect (talk) 23:19, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Having a decent-sized writeup in Allmusic is sufficient for coverage for a long-defunct band such as this. OhNo itsJamie Talk 01:44, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as the article currently looks acceptable enough to not make it a deletion priority, certainly several other articles of concern existing. SwisterTwister   talk  05:46, 16 December 2015 (UTC)


 * More reason to keep: I've found some additional information about band roster and have expanded the test
