[edit] I Was A Cub Scout
Contested prod. Apparently trivial band (not quite qualifying for A7 because of that "Top 10 single of 2006" claim). A grand total of three singles, the most successful reached a chart position of #116 and sold 800 copies. While they notch up a relatively respectable 735 Ghits on UK Google the hits appear to consist entirely of blogs, myspace pages and gig guides with not a single mention in a major publication (music or otherwise). — iridescenti (talk to me!) 19:05, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

- Pink Squares (song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- I Hate Nightclubs (song) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
- No opinion on the songs, but weak keep the band (though the article needs a rewrite). Big feature in Drowned in Sound] here; a writeup by The Guardian; coverage by the BBC; and a show review in Neu Magazine. Weak because they're not quite there in terms of album releases, but it seems like there's enough outside coverage to push them over the line. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete the songs because hitting the hundreds in the UK charts doesn't make them notable, and besides one can find all one needs to know about them on the band's page. Weak Keep the band's page as they just about make WP:Band on the basis of the references above. A1octopus 23:31, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- Delete the song articles as clearly trivial. I have no strong opinion on the band. Eluchil404 20:18, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- strong keep the band, as they're becoming more and more popular in the neu-rave scene—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.100.85.189 (talk • contribs).— 81.100.85.189 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Weak Keep for the band, cleanup desperately needed. Strong Delete the songs. Stellatomailing 15:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
