[edit] The Mom and Dads

The Mom and Dads (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:MUSIC. Don't let Leslie's article fool you, it takes you to a unrelated page. (for one ,the band is in washington, the leslie welch article says welch is in england) Lack of sources keep assertations of notability very slim. Searches yield nothing more than the wikipedia article. Delete Undeath (talk) 05:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete, nothing found in Google News Archive or Google Books. I feel like I may have heard them on A Prairie Home Companion once, but even if true that's not enough. --Dhartung | Talk 06:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. They released a huge number of records (I've added a partial discography), had hit albums, and easily pass WP:MUSIC.--Michig (talk) 10:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Also, most of their releases were on major labels such as MCA Records and its subsidiaries.--Michig (talk) 17:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Just a notice, releasing a lot of records does not mean anything. The label means something, but the records themselves do not. I could sit in my garage and turn out a lot of records, but that does not make me notabe. I'm doing some research on the MCA link.Undeath (talk) 22:39, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Reply Yes, but multiple albums on a major label is sufficient to pass WP:MUSIC. --Dhartung | Talk 23:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. They do have a significant entry on the All Music Guide and a career that spanned several years. Certainly notable in their time and in their genre.Brian Waterman, MS, CDP (talk) 15:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep meets WP:MUSIC standard per above. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 19:41, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per multiple releases on a notable label, meets WP:MUSIC quite clearly. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 20:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
