The result was keep the band, no consensus on the EPs, since only two people mentioned them and others' arguments might or might not include the albums. - Bobet 09:14, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sounds like chicken

Article for a non-notable band. Google hits for ("sounds like chicken" band -wikipedia -myspace) = 528. No listing on Allmusic or references in 3rd party sources (or press). Fails: Wikipedia:Notability (music). Also nominated: Slowly Going the Way of the Chicken (EP) and Slowly Going the Way of the Stump (EP)--  Netsnipe  ^(Talk)  06:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Sounds Like Chicken have toured nationaly and have some of their songs on rotation on the Australian radio station Triple J. They also have a decent number of fans Australian wide and are well known for their contribution to Australian Ska music. So i believe the band meets the WP:BAND notabilty criteria.

• Delete I was unsure at first, but I don't see any signs of notability. Was their national tour notable enough to get a mention is notable sources like music magazines with a wide readership, or news stories? Just touring a country isn't enough. And how many fans is a "decent number"? Lurker ^haver 10:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The magazines i've seen them have been time-off and the other free ones that are available at basically every record shop that everyone picks up cause they're free. I don't know if they have been mentioned in any of the paying ones because I don't get them myself. Dead Chook 10:39, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country, reported in notable and verifiable sources. There was a thing about them in Kerrang! a while back, and they've certainly gotten a good run from JJJ. Drett 01:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I can find two mentions of them in a Australian media

database, both in gig guides. The Herald-Sun mentioned that they have a single "Take a Bullet to the Grave". I cannot see the notable and verifiable sources. If they had verifiable evidence of a claim under WP:MUSIC I would support keeping it but I can't see one. Capitalistroadster 03:01, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Is this the band with "Dave from Dulwich Hill" who had a regular segment on Adam & Wil's Breakfast show on Triple J? He had a band called Sounds like Chicken and there is a Dave in this band. If it is the same one I'm surprised the fact isn't mentioned in the article. -- Chuq 04:36, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I think that would be the band. Shannon from Cockatoo, who also had a regular segment on that show, was a big fan. Drett 13:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep It meets more than one criteria in the WP:BAND and one is only needed to be considered meeting the criteria. 211.27.166.58 05:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep They recieved regular mentions from Shannon from Cockatoo on Adam and Will's popular Breakfast show on Triple J Radio, so much so that their name was mentioned in the weekly intro to Shannon's segment along with well known Australian Punk Band Frenzal Rhomb. They also regularly tour Australia and have played in every Australian State, and have supported popular international ska bands Reel Big Fish and Mad Caddies. They are quite popular and well respected in the Australian Underground music scene due to their unique blend of Ska, Regaee, Hardcore and Rock. — Possible single purpose account: Cool bananas2 (talk • contribs) has made little or no other contributions outside this topic.
• Keep. Quite notable - I've never heard their music, but I've certainly heard of them. Rebecca 00:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and Delete The band is notable; headlined multiple national tours of a large country, several articles in national monthly music magazines such as Blunt and Kerrang, national radio play, and weekly mentions of the band on the most popular show on the only national youth radio station (as mentioned above). If I remember correctly I've also heard their music being played on extreme sports shows on national television. I support the deletion of the two EP articles though, not notable to non-fans. Non-notable releases of notable bands shouldn't be on Wikipedia. Kineticpast 03:25, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. the Band. Delete the CD's. The Shannon from Cockatoo/JJJ references are enough to warrant this. They are just as well known for their memorable name as their music. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.22.237.66 (talk • contribs) .
