[edit] The Marmite Sisters

Only 25 Google hits, including copies of Wikipedia. Not notable enough, and the releases seems to be on extremly minor labels. Delete Jenny Wong 14:39, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep. The release on a German label suggests that the band was more than a local phenomenon. Google reports 254 hits for "marmite Sisters" (without the initial The). See http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Marmite+Sisters%22 One of the band members subsequently became a well-known academic. TruthbringerToronto 15:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment. That's 141 hits excluding Wikipedia. —Centrx→talk • 05:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. For me 254 Google hits is enough to say non-notable. Ifnord 17:35, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep It's hard to say whether it's notable enough. I've seen much less notable articles on Wikipedia. I think it just barely makes it in. That's why I vote for a weak keep. --BennyD 19:32, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Two flexidiscs and some cassettes, one vinyl 7-inch that you couldn't fold up (German label was Meller Welle, which tended to do releases by UK acts, you can read all about them on this site). This all seems to fail WP:MUSIC - no albums, solely Leicester-based reputation, now defunct. The "famous academic" ex-singer (Graham Barnfield) looks pretty un-notable too, certainly fails any WP:PROF test. --DaveG12345 14:34, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. Barely passes WP:MUSIC. Not listed on discogs.com, but has a single album listed on allmusic.com. Royalbroil 04:32, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
