[edit] It's Immaterial

It's Immaterial (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

edit Googling, I found lots of references to It's Immaterial as a good but obscure eighties band, like this and this and the reviews at amazon.com. But nothing that would even remotely quality as multiple nontrivial published works per WP:BAND. I'd love to see the creator come up with some sources for this. -FisherQueen (Talk) 22:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. I looked for some better sources (I have a weakness for good but obscure bands) and here's what I came up with: Mention of their best-known song "Driving Away from Home in The Guardian in articles about great driving here and here, mention in the lead of a New Statesman article about the M62 here, and confirmation here that the song was #21 on the UK top forty in late April 1986. On the basis of this last, I'm changing my opinion to weak keep.-FisherQueen (Talk) 22:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep.Keep They did manage to have a UK top 40 hit (which had considerable airplay and a TOTP appearance [1]) which makes them fairly notable. The article will need to be expanded and wikified however.--Starrycupz 13:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Added some more info to the article. Found out that they also have recorded four Peel Sessions. Surely they meet at least two of the criteria on WP:BAND musicians and ensembles (2 & 10 and possibly 12)?--Starrycupz 00:19, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep based on the improvements by FisherQueen and Starrycupz. ShadowHalo 00:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
