Tagged WP:CSD#A7 but notability is asserted. A single top ten hit in a very small market is not, however, much of a claim, and the band does not appear to be the primary subject of multiple non-trivial coverage in reliable independent sources. Guy (Help!) 09:31, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete The only thing I can find about them on Google is their myspace page (which is hardly verification). Verification has not been assessed, and their notability claim of having a top 10 hit is not verified (I can't find it either). Perhaps this could even be a WP:HOAX because of that? --Адам12901 ^Talk 15:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete Ireland is an english speaking country and this is English Wikipedia. If the 10 ten hit can be verified it should be kept. Otherwise, delete. TonyTheTiger 21:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

If it can be verified. However, it hasn't been verified, and when looking for it, I couldn't find anything. Even the blog (dated 30 January 2007) on their myspace account says: We have not rehersed or gigged yet. We practically don't exist at the moment, but we've booked our first rehersal for 2 weeks time. It also says that they have only been a member since 1 November 2006, and that they are not signed to a label. You can't have a top 10 hit after only being a band for 3 and a half months, and not being on a label (it's possible but highly unlikely. I'm fairly certain that their claim to having a top hit is a WP:HOAX. --Адам12901 ^Talk 02:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete The chart position appears to be a hoax, and the MySpace isn't exactly helping the case for notability. ShadowHalo 03:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I think there should be a policy banning any mention of myspace from articles, unless it's the article about myspace. --Адам12901 ^Talk 04:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
