  • Weak Keep if references are forthcoming. This is a borderline case to me, but they have released a few records on an indie label that appears decent. The article's author, whose intentions appear good, claims in the article that they have done concerts with several notable bands, and claims on the article's talk page that they have been written about in several respectable publications and were mentioned in some book called Who's Who of Australian Rock. If these claims are verified, I think the article should stay. --Bongwarrior 07:28, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Hopefully some references will surface, but as I recall the Guttersnipes were very influential and respected on the Melbourne music scene. Andrew Rice was suffering a serious illness and Spiderbait, The Meanies, Cosmic Psychos and Mach Pelican played a benefit gig [1]. I don't think the article is particularly spammy, and a nomination which says simply "vanispamcruftisement"... hmmm... --Canley 09:26, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep if someone would be so kind as to ad the references which are likely out there per the thousands of Google hits for guttersnipes band. I added the word (band) to the article name, since otherwise a Wikipedia reader might go tho the aticle looking for information on street urchins in general. This should be an automatic addition for bands which are commonly named after people, places or things, unless they add "The" before the name or change the spelling as in the Beatles.

  • Keep Band does meet WP:Music on basis of records released and references quoted above. A1octopus 15:14, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep good article should place a unsourced tag but otherwise it is a very good article.--St.daniel talk 20:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
