[edit] The Swifts

The Swifts (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

non-notable band, which, according to the article, never signed to a music label and only got a few briefs plays on regional radio. Sourced to myspace and web forums. Geoffrey Spear 19:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• The article puts it better than I could: "zero airplay in the national charts, and only a few brief plays on regional radio" — delete. Demiurge 19:56, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails WP:BAND miserably. PullToOpen^Talk 19:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - fails WP:MUSIC since there are no albums, national tours or anything else. Jayden54 21:17, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
• This was a seminal band in Manchester's Nu-Indie scene That's peachy keen, but most of the rest of humanity apparently hasn't noticed how important being seminal in Manchester is. Delete Tubezone 22:53, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • That's not true at all. But it is for this band. Delete. -- Kicking222 02:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

An ex-Daily Sport columnist whose lyrics are described as "drug induced gibberish"... Yeah, that Manchester nu-indie scene, it's definitely giving us a new generation of Beethovens, ain't it ;-) Tubezone 05:04, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
