They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (band)
I don't know much about it but I'm not sure that this band meet WP:MUSIC, one album, no review (as yet) of a major tour etc.. Marcus22 08:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * keep has toured Canada and the United States, has released an album on Kill Rock Stars, reviewed by Pitchfork Media, and have charted on both of Canada's major national college radio charts, Chart (peaking at ninth ) and Earshot (peaking at sixth ). JonnyChance 09:24, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per JonnyChance, in addition the article does include a reference to a review of the record (and did so at the time of nomination). Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 09:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

* Comment: I dont really know enough about it, but one album on killrockstars does not strike me as very significant. Neither does one internet review of the album. There is no review of a tour. (Which is the point I actually made). And I dont know anything at all about Canada's national college charts - but are they the same sort of thing as Billboard? I'm not sure they are. So for now I'll go with Delete. Marcus22 10:08, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Meets WP:MUSIC. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:07, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as commented above. Article satisfies WP:MUSIC. Scorpiondollprincess 13:48, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - easily meets WP:MUSIC criteria PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 17:04, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep notable indie rock band on a very well-known label with a large following. Amazinglarry 18:35, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - lack of American chart activity does not mean the band is non-notable. Other reviews include Discorder, Georgia Straight, Boston Phoenix, Popmatters.com and SHZine.com --nkife 20:27, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Hey, no problem!  Take it easy.... I did actually ask for advice in one or two places before making the nomination and was kind of hoping that some of you who know WP:MUSIC a darn site better than I do would maybe get back to me.  But it's no bother and I can see from the above that this is a clear Keep and so I'm glad to change vote and am happy to ask for the AfD to be dropped ASAP. Marcus22 08:21, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
