[edit] The Venetians (Australian Rock Band)

The Venetians (Australian Rock Band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article fails to meet the criteria specified in WP:MUSIC (non-notability).  ~Steptrip 22:37, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes it does. Has had a charted hit on any national music chart (3rd single reached #8 on national charts in 1983). Furthermore 1st 3 singles received alot of national airplay on TV and radio at the time. Can't remember which label they were on though...Soryr, I don't have any 80s music mags lying around. Not much on the net I agree but then we shouldn't reduce wikipedia to sources we can surf the net for. cheers, Casliber | talk | contribs 22:44, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Try Googling the subject or going to your local library, that should give you some source.  ~Steptrip 23:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I have already googled several combinations which yielded a little. Unfortunately alot of chart material appears to be off the internet, though there is some. I presume you did too before you listed it here? I have also left a note at WP Australiacheers, Casliber | talk | contribs 23:15, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. I remember this band vaguely from the 1980's. Festival Records is certainly a notable Australian label and Chrysalis is an international label. Tim Powles of The Church (band) was certainly a member and the Venetians toured with the Church. [1]. They meet WP:MUSIC for mine. I will leave a message for David Gerard.

• Keep Definitely notable enough as far as I can see, I remember seeing them on Countdown several times and they were interviewed/profiled in the April 1986 issue of Countdown magazine. There's a promo photo here. The combination with Tim Powles' membership and signing to major labels mentioned above make this a definite keeper for me. --Canley 02:42, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. notable.--ZayZayEM 06:00, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - hit band in Australia, ridiculously ignorant nomination - David Gerard 11:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep as per all keep comments above, and this AfD should be resolved as keep with consensus immediatly. thewinchester 16:47, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
