[edit] Salford Jets

Was tagged for speedy for being a nn-band, but claims that one member Mike Sweeney is a broadcaster on Piccadilly Magic 1152 radio and they had a hit song in 1980. Perhaps some of our Brits can weigh in on whether this meets WP:MUSIC or not. howcheng {chat} 07:37, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. The name rings a very vague bell, although I'm a child of the 90s. They do have an Allmusic.com entry. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 08:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • very weak keep - Heres an opinion from someone of that era( not that I've ever heard of them):
    • Had a major label recording contract for a short period.
    • 'Hit single' reached 72 on charts - Now worth nearly $10 on 7" vinyl
    • Recorded 2 sessions for Radio 1 - no info that they were ever broadcast
    • Appeared at the Marquee Club, but then so did a lot of NN bands
    • Never had an LP issued
    • Keep on the basis of historical interest MNewnham 17:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Although I originally flagged the article, it looks like there may be just enough justification to warrant an entry. Based on what I originally saw regarding the article, I'm glad at least there was a discussion regarding it. Jfiling 06:02, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
