This is a pretty non-notable band, I would recommend deletion of this article, or at least a merging into an article covering such non-notable "underground bands"

They are notable per WP:MUSIC - they've released more than one album under a major record label. Awyong J. M. Salleh 10:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

From article: "In 1969, Bubble Puppy released their only full-length LP A Gathering of Promises." ONLY one full length album, thats pretty non notable. I say yes to deletion

I would argue that they did indeed issue two albums, "A Gathering of Promises" and "Demian", albeit under two different names but with the same personnel. Nibios 23:23, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

I am Daniel Gonzalez from Barcelona (Spain), and this article has really helped me. I run a radio show here in Ona de Sants FM while I'm finishing my Berklee studies on Jazz and Modern Music on an associated centre here, and even though I was born on the eighties I heard this band before and I am going to play them on my radio show tonight, the info on this page has really helped me so I can say something about this band. And I have to add that if a band that has no more than one LP isn't worth a place on wikipedia, bands such as Blind Faith shouldn't be here either. The Bubble Puppy was a great band despite their comercial success or the lenght of their carreer. I won't take out the deleting template because I don't consider myself the best suited to do it, but hope this page remains here for a long time.

Now I have proof enough that this article fits Wikipedia standards: I had a look on allmusic.com (As recommended on the Resources section of WP:MUSIC ) and found this: "Bubble Puppy enjoyed arguably the greatest commercial success of all the Texas psychedelic bands, scoring a Top 20 pop hit with "Hot Smoke & Sasafrass.", and that fits the fact: Has had a charted hit on any national music chart. So I think this is enough to proof that this article fills notability requirements.

[edit] please try an afd

look, if there is a legitimate concern that this article should not be here, the best way to go about it would be to do a proper afd as outlined in WP:AFD rather than prod tag warring. that way the community can work on achieving a consensus on its worthiness. sound good? -- frymaster 17:18, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

well, it's been a month now and no-one's given an afd a shot... so i guess it's pretty much a non-ssue -- frymaster 19:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I for one believe that this entry should be here ... I would like to point out that Bubble Puppy is not from San Antonio ... they formed in Corpus Christi, Texas. They have a star at the South Texas Music Hall of Fame in downtown Corpus Christi near the Executive Surf Club.
