The band has released albums on Household Name Records, whose article calls it "one of the UK's best known independent punk rock record labels" but is unreferenced. ShadowHalo 04:25, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete: Fails WP:MUSIC. Chovain 04:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. MER-C 04:58, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep In regard to: WP:MUSIC, Criteria for musicians and ensembles, this article, and the band, both meet the requirements for #'s 4 and 5 under that list. Fierce Panda Records and Gravity Dip Records have both been around for more than a decade, with Household Names Records hitting 9 years. Along with near constant national touring. I've listed why it hasn't failed WP:MUSIC, whereas nobody has listed any real reason why it has failed WP:MUSIC. Btl 06:11, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, fails WP:MUSIC, uhmm, possibly a hoax. Wikipedia has never have a red link on this record company. Terence Ong 05:24, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Very weak keep, definitely not a hoax. They have been the studio guests in BBC's "Radio 1 Punk Show with Mike Davies" [1], which also confirms at least part of their discography. They have played on a secondary stage of the huge Reading and Leeds festivals[2]. The labels exist, so they seem to b a slightly notable part of the not vetry notable British punk scene of the late 1990s and early 21st century. Fram 09:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Fram. Definitely not hoax. At least part of the article can be verified and with multiple albums and appearances on BBC1 radio and major festivals verified, they're definitely notable. - Mgm|(talk) 11:01, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep 100% not a hoax, I have them on my iPod (yeah, yeah, I know, WP:ILIKEIT). They've had plenty of commercial releases, toured all over the place and are one of the UK's biggest ska/punk bands. They breeze through WP:MUSIC and a little digging should produce plenty of sources from the music press. This article just needs expanded to properly assert their notability, something the BBC article does pretty well: "playing with the likes of Less than Jake, Pennywise and Reel Big Fish", "touring exhaustively all over the world", "major articles in the national rock press and slots at some of last year's outdoor festivals.". -- IslaySolomon | talk 13:06, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - per Mgm's and IslaySolomon's comments, but the article needs some references though. Jayden54 17:21, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I've added a few references which should put this beyond any doubt, I plan to do some more expansion when I get the time. One of the biggest UK punk bands of recent years. (full disclosure: I've seen this band about a dozen times, all national tours that meet WP:MUSIC though.) Oldelpaso 22:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - as per User:IslaySolomon -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 05:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, meets WP:MUSIC. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:59, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Household Records are a notable record label, the band have played Reading and Leeds Festival. An extremely well known Skacore band. Halo 01:21, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep as above. Thedreamdied 22:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
