  • Weak Delete - Fails WP:MUSIC TheInfinityZero 17:38, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep - They've been on a large national tour of Australia as part of Big Day Out[1], won two awards in what seems to be a fairly major music awards program[2], have been featured in The Age[3], NZ Musician[4] and elsewhere. I'd be more inclined to keep if their albums were on a notable record label, but I think they're a little over the WP:MUSIC bar with all that. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:50, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Additional information makes it an easy Keep. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:52, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Well-known within NZ and - to a lesser extent - Australia. Several releases on Kog (which is NZ's biggest techno/electronica label), two bNet award wins, two overseas tours, appearances at the Big Day Out, and live performance on Radio New Zealand are all enough for it to easily satisfy the WP:MUSIC notability requirements (points 4, 5, 8, and 12 of the notability requirements, of which it needs to pass only one). How anyone can claim that it has failed these requirements is beyond me. Grutness...wha? 01:26, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. With a little additional info added, it is now clear that it passes WP:MUSIC. --Limegreen 02:43, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
