- Indeed, Allmusic Guide turns up a band from Georgia, and no hint of a Canadian band. I seriously doubt the Canadian band is notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article (see WP:MUSIC). On the other hand, the band from Georgia seems like they might, barely, meet the notability requirements (only one record, but they've toured in US and Europe according to one source I found). I'll do a little more research, but then I'll probably either hijack this stub and re-write it to be about the more notable band, or simply nominate it for deletion, depending on what I turn up. Unless, of course, fans of the Canadian band can turn up some evidence of notability before I get back. (I'm not going to hold my breath.) :) Xtifr tälk 06:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Semi-revert to earlier band
After some research, I've come to the conclusion that the US band (which was the original subject of this article) qualifies under Wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:MUSIC), based on several notable members (if there were only one, a redirect might be more appropriate, but Jerry Joseph's All Music Guide entry clearly indicates his notability), as well as the 2004 US tour. It's marginal, but I think there's enough to pass. The article was switched to refer to a Canadian band by User:Bruce1ee, who was partly justified in his action, since the earlier versions of the article were almost 100% copyvio, but the Candian band is clearly not notable enough for its own article (and if it ever becomes notable enough, it can have a separate article).
