Was previously deleted. Still not notable, reads like an advertisement. The article will only ever be Fancruft. Noodle snacks (talk) 05:33, 21 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. Notable performance ... err ... thing. Featured in BBC's XtraBass awards  (there's a set of photos, and a link to an interview with one of the system's creators).  Regularly features in reviews/previews of events where it is at the time:        etc.  I've also seen several unreliable sources claiming it's listed in the Guinness Book of World Records (unknown year) as the loudest sound system, but don't have access to copies to confirm this.

 * Keep I agree you with since it has a lot of notable sources. However, the article itself doesn't list them (I think only one).  Just needs a nice editor to clean it up, no need to delete it without good probable cause.Chubr0ck (talk) 17:24, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I think it is important to have an article on this topic. I do think it needs quite a bit of work and referencing, although this is difficult, because by its nature a lot of drum & bass material doesn't get properly published. It would be interesting to see if any popular or famous music magazines have done any articles on the system. I have done a few google searches and can't seem to find anything on it. This sound system regularly tours and is touted as being the best drum & bass sound system around and this appears on all the posters etc. at club nights, so there must be good reason for it, it's just a matter of being able to clarify and cite this information correctly. I honestly feel that a touring sound system that is often said to be the best of its kind deserves a place on Wikipedia. It just needs some work. Dark link (talk) 13:01, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
