The Things (Canadian band)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have been unable to find any album reviews, concert reports or other reliable, independent sources with information about this band. I can't suggest redirection, because there are no articles about the musicians and I can't find a reliable source linking them to Kool Kat Records, which is itself a redirect. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 02:16, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:NBAND. It appears the band split shortly after the release of their one EP in 1995 – Lorenz Peters does collaborate with Corpusse (although he's not an official member) on Toronto's underground music scene, and Dom Whelan played for a dozen years with what is effectively a Pogues tribute band, the Mahones (also of dubious notability). But one EP released over 20 years ago on a local label isn't enough to establish notability. The Kool Kat Records in question is not the same one as the Birmingham, UK Kool Kat/Network label, so a redirect is not applicable there. Richard3120 (talk) 13:29, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing here constitutes an WP:NMUSIC pass, and no sourcing means no WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 02:20, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - I can not find coverage to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:BAND.  gongshow  talk  06:51, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - as the other editors have said, nothing in searches to show they pass either WP:GNG or WP:NBAND.  Onel 5969  TT me 17:27, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
