The Stiff Richards

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A quick search for this band suggests that they are defunct, and were never particularly notable. Their label has been sold, and their reported current label - skunk records - doesn't list them as an artist. At best, it rates passing mention on web sites dedicated to past members.

 * Delete I couldn't find anything on these. They don't even seem to be as notable as Stiff Richards, one of the groups The Uptones were while on hiatus. Since they were most active before 1990 it's possible sources exist that have not made it online. The claims of covers by notable groups are intriguing. 86.44.31.213 (talk) 20:17, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I couldn't find any significant coverage. Most of what I found was about the other similarly-named group.--Michig (talk) 20:44, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I'm not holding it against them that they are defunct -- we do cover dead people, and de-populated towns -- but I can't find sufficient significant RS coverage on them.  Agree w/Mr. Music IP's other comments, but conclude as he does that we need RS support here.--Epeefleche (talk) 06:57, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
