Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/The Dangerfields

Being one of the hardest working bands (if not THE hardest working band) in the United Kingdom, having played 686 gigs in 6 years, having sold at least 5000 records/cd's simply by touring hard without funding or any kind of publicity other than diy promotion makes The Dangerfields a fairly notable band in my opinion.

But appart from that The Dangerfields meet the following Wikipedia Music Criteria:


 * Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,[1] reported in notable and verifiable sources.

They have done multiple Tours of The UK and Eire many lasting up to a month or more at a time (2 years ago they played 40 gigs in 40 nights) they have also done 3 Mainland European Tours: 2 Tours of Germany in November 2002 & October 2003 and a Tour of Netherlands/Germany in April 2004. And have a European Tour scheduled for August 2006
