[edit] Startools

Sending here instead of deleting on expired prod. Notability is the concern. I think the article makes interesting claims beyond WP:MUSIC. - CrazyRussian talk/email 07:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete The claims are indeed interesting. Shame they're unreferenced. May be swayed if reliable sources are introduced. GassyGuy 08:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC) Changing to weak keep in light of presented sources. Seems to be an acceptable and reasonably well-documented topic. GassyGuy 04:23, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep Although they're odd references for a band, the National Review of Medicine (of Canada) [1] and SCO Health Service [2] have in-depth features on the band. Several reputable Ottawa area media sources (Ottawa Citizen, CJOH) mention the band appearing at local fundraisers. If we can substantiate the CD, then I'll upgrade my vote.

  • Keep the Star Tools! Heroes to guitar-playing young doctors throughout Ontario! We named our band Melena after the original Animalena and the Tar Stools (and because I'm a gastroenterologist with an odd sense of humour). Not sure if you can use WP:NMG reliably for this one, but this is probably the only band referenced in the National Review of Medicine. Refs in Maclean's also, wish it was available online -- Samir धर्म 20:50, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep with refs provided by Caknuck, should be enough to meet WP:MUSIC, albeit barely: "Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media...", also, arguably, "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene..." with Ontario Medicine being the "local scene" in question. :) Xtifr tälk 00:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Laughing weak keep per Caknuck's research, but if we ever tighten our standards for music significantly this probably won't make the cut. GRBerry 17:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
