  • Queried speedy delete Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:57, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - I nom'd for speedy. I still don't see an assertion of importance. In any case, I don't see it meeting WP:music. Sbowers3 (talk) 18:12, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Keep - Now has multiple non-trivial references. Sbowers3 (talk) 22:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - No allusion to notability. I found some of their songs and albums on Amazon.com, but subject still fails WP:MUSIC. -FrankTobia (talk) 22:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Remove my earlier suggestion per discussion. Article looks good now. -FrankTobia (talk) 18:06, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Is it too much to ask editors to do a quick web search before nominating for deletion, speedy or otherwise? I've just put three sources in the article, and they've had plenty more coverage in the Toronto Star. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:25, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Mea culpa. I originally nom'd for speedy because I didn't see even an assertion of importance. When it was turned into an AFD I automatically thought delete without going back to check for refs. Thanks for the lesson. Sbowers3 (talk) 22:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - I've contacted one of the primary historians of the band (the original creator of the page) who will be adding a whole bunch of content which would satisfy music notability criteria --JHehner (talk) 13:17, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
