The result was Keep. Reproducing Bearcat's google search shows a lot of relevant hits including tours/shows in the US & regular performances at Country music festivals. Notability is therefore established. Spartaz ^Humbug! 20:40, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Higgins

The Higgins (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Claims of notability, so I'm bringing it here instead of nominating for speedy deletion. This band fails WP:MUSIC in that the only Google hits I find for '"Wild Minds" higgins "Coming Home For Christmas"' are their own website. Nothing at allmusic.com, nothing at artistdirect.

• Delete unsourced claims of "a massive following of fans" notwithstanding, these chaps are totally non-notable. Bigdaddy1981 22:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

• As I've stated before, allmusic is not a fully reliable gauge of notability for bands that haven't gotten known in the United States; it's not at all unheard of for allmusic to have no entry whatsoever on bands that are unknown in the US while simultaneously being chart-topping stars in their home countries. The article does need some cleanup, certainly, but they've toured in both Canada and the United States and have performed live on national television and radio in Canada. Plus you get far more useful Google results with the term "The Higgins" country music. That clears the bar in my world. Keep. Bearcat 00:23, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
