The Thin Kids

Deprodded. No apparent nobility given WP:BAND. Shadowjams (talk) 08:00, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. Band leader Everett True is notable (formerly recording for Creation Records under the name The Legend!), and the article includes ample evidence of significant coverage. --Michig (talk) 06:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you sure that Everett True (his article has a picture) is the "band leader"? Maybe he is, but the article doesn't say that outright. The article says at the end "The Thin Kids debuted on MySpace on 2nd December, 2009...True sent the recordings to the Head of A&R at Domino Records...who promised to give them a listen “in the next five years or so”." Look at the actual paragraph too because there's a lot of promotional language. In addition, even if it is his band, that doesn't necessarily make it notable, and there still aren't any WP:RS talking about it in the article or here. Shadowjams (talk) 10:23, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
 * See this ("Were this a regular band, you'd call True “the vocalist” and Guglielmino the “guitarist”"), this ("True and his band The Thin Kids amble through a set of the nonsensical punk-poetry, drearily filling the slot vacated by Sydney’s Bridezilla."), this ("A couple of tall tales soon gave way to actual music as he (Everett True) introduced new band mates Edward Guglielmino and Margaret Collins, who form half of the debut quartet The Thin Kids (along with The Gin Club’s Scotty Regan, who was absent until the very end)."), and this ("The band proclaim on their MySpace page “we’re better than you”, but vocalist Everett True explains that this is most likely being taken the wrong way"), all of which are external links in the article. I could go with a merge to Everett True but deletion? No way.--Michig (talk) 10:53, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not satisfy the criteria at WP:BAND. WWGB (talk) 01:33, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Michig.--Epeefleche (talk) 21:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I am seeing notability of the band's leader, Everett True. There is also enough source coverage of the group itself, such that the page could be improved with citations from secondary sources. -- Cirt (talk) 13:46, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
