The Tango Rhums

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unfortunately there is nothing about this band that meets WP:MUSIC or WP:N. The most I could find is from their label's site which amounts to nothing and their facebook and myspaces pages which again offers nothing. I don't believe any of its members are notable (none have an article on Wikipedia). One of the "former members" is notable, Jah Wobble, who was in Public Image Ltd. but I can't find any verification that he was even in this band. The Pet Shop Boys are listed as an associated act but I can't find the association. J04n(talk page) 03:16, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I removed all three of the former members (Jah Wobble, Bonnie Langford and Noele Gordon) - it was basically three lies, which is why is was unreferenced. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 12:15, 11 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - epically fails on grounds of notability Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 12:15, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete Was essentially a personal newsfeed for the band before I got to it. ALso, as pointed out above, contains blatant lies. Zazaban (talk) 21:36, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this band. Joe Chill (talk) 03:34, 12 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Under Music Notability criteria 7 "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability." The Tango Rhums, and the associated Newtown Products (founded 1979) are the focal points for the thriving music scene of Glenrothes Scotland.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.20.128.153 (talk) 19:16, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Are their any verifiable sources to support this? J04n(talk page) 20:43, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Even if there are, Glenrothes isn't a significant enough scene on a world scale to merit even their most prominent band having an article. The band doesn't even have an album, for heaven's sake. Zazaban (talk) 20:54, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I disagree - the previous post ( by Zazaban) is mildly offensive and smacks of isolationism - I don't see any reference in the quoted criteria that either the City or music scene of such has to be significant on a 'world scale'. The last sentence of Zazaban's post doesn't even merit consideration in a reasoned discussion of music. Regarding verifiable sources : these will be posted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.20.128.153 (talk) 23:14, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
