[edit] Notability
In my opinion, this band fails WP:MUSIC, since their only claim towards notability is that they released one album; WP:MUSIC requires at least two.
Actually, it seems that the article has been deleted due to lack of notability before, and then re-created. --B. Wolterding 15:36, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
- How about the fact that member(s) later went to form band(s) that are otherwise notable (criterion 6)? Does that apply? --mcld 21:34, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, maybe, although that would rather warrant a merger/redirect to Geraldine Fibbers. --B. Wolterding 21:40, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- Either way is fine with me. --mcld 09:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
- This may have been a regional thing but they got quite a bit of airplay on LA and San Diego alternative and college radio when the album was released. In addition, at least one of their videos got some rotation on MTV's 120 Minutes. Maybe just have the one entry for both EM and GF. As for the "must have at least one album"... that is just patently arbitrary and I have no problem with that dumb guideline being ignored. Jackbox1971 01:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
- Definitely not a regional thing. Songs from this album (esp. the "Ripened Peach" single) received heavy radio play in Chicago (on the commercial alternative station).--Theodore Kloba 13:42, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

They did appear on Beavis and Butthead Andy Christ 10:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- This band received a large amount of press coverage around the release of Happy Days. Unfortunately, most music magazines don't have archives from the early '90s online. Let me see if I can find more refs at the local library, I'm fairly confident that most of the major music periodicals at the time reviewed their album. --Muchness 15:07, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
