• Delete. Being on a notable label does not make one notable (Mungo Jerry vs Demon Fuzz on Dawn, for example). notability has not been established. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 14:20, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep: hello! i know this page is ugly, but i have limited wikipedian skills :) anyhow, i think the band truely deserves an entry. its on a notable label (which is already on wikipedia), the term "Chow Chow colours lines fantastic plastic" return nearly 150 000 results on google, they have an entry on discogs, last.fm, musicbrains, etc. lastly, pitchforkmedia has made a review on their album, and i'm pretty sure every band reviewed on this site has an entry on wikipedia. thanks!

• Response: Not even. Among other things, I do band websites for a living, and most of my clients have PFM reviews, but are mostly not notable enough to have articles here (in fact, none of them do). Let's not be silly. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 15:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

• Keep i think the 150 000 google results justify a keep. but the page needs to be cleaned up. 206.41.93.242 13:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment I'd be interested to know this figure can be regarded as accurate. Ghits on "Chow Chow", about 2 million. "Chow Chow -dog", about 1 million. UK only, about 19,000. Ghits on above search, with quotes: none, without: 1200, above -dog: 54. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 14:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per WP:BAND; the above arguments in support appear to be falsified statistics (boiled down to 54 Ghits and a false assertion that PFM reviews and notability-surviving band articles here are a 1:1 relationship). — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 15:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

okay then, delete the page. anyhow now that the singer's dead its not like it'll gain notability in the future... you should check it out thought, its pretty good! Twisted-TXB 02:19, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

• It's nothing personal, and nothing to get bitter about. And remember Joy Division -> New Order. --Rodhullandemu (talk - contribs) 02:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
