[edit] Grasshopper Takeover

Was tagged as speedy, but making the chart IS an assertion of notability. Does anyone know whether the claim is valid? _ Mgm|(talk) 13:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak delete, unless they have another claim of notability. Have found no evidence of them "hitting the charts big."Bjones 13:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
How did you search? - Mgm|(talk) 22:38, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
Working on the assumption that a charting single would show up on a Google search of the band. A fallible strategy, but the only one I could think of.Bjones 04:18, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep They have a number of Google hits, and have had a writeup in Rolling Stone according to their site. -- Avi 22:04, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep if the Rolling Stone writeup can be confirmed. - Mgm|(talk) 22:38, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
    • A feature article, or just a paragraph? Google search combining the band and the magazine gives lots of mentions, but the 21st hit is the first from the magazine's website, and is an article about someone else with a bare mention that he co-produced one of the band's albums. No vote. Barno 00:30, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. Allmusic.com shows three albums to their credit but no singles or albums of the band has charted. Rolling Stone writeup might get them over the line. Capitalistroadster 01:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
  • keep, looking at google, I believe the Rolling Stone claim. Kappa 20:33, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. They google well and I've heard of them. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 09:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
