 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Notability is not established. Most of the references are for individual members of this collective. Those that refer specifically to the collective are local press items. I edited out some POV language, unsourced trivia, and lots of external links (youtube, etc.). What was left does not seem to indicate a notable organization or collective with multiple, non-trivial third-party sources. Perhaps this could be merged into Dan Deacon, the most prominent member, but looking at his article raises a few notability questions as well  freshacconci  speak to me  18:28, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This article was nominated for deletion in March '07 with a result of no consensus. It doesn't seem that much has been improved since then. One editor in that AfD suggested that to "keep" would require some major editing down, which I have done. However, it still does not appear to be a notable collective.  freshacconci  speak to me  18:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. I went through the last AFD and agree with Freshacconci that the terms for one of the keep !votes was that the article needed to be cleaned up. Nothing has really improved. Also, there was a request on the talk page for some clarification. That wasn't done either. All in all, I feel the article has too much that needs done to keep it.

 * Delete they don't come much less notable than this, until someone writes an opera about them. Dan Deacon just about squeaks through. Johnbod (talk) 19:10, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as it is an organized and referenced article. Sincerely, --  Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 19:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep as it is a well-referenced publication. The group is young, talented and they will only become more notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.93.55.60 (talk) 20:25, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
