The Rosedales are certainly a notable band, please do not tag articles for deletion simply based on your own personal inexperience. They have toured with The Misfits and have seen air play an radio stations around the nation (such as on radio stations in Ft. Collins-CO, Kenosha-WI, St. Louis-MO and on Q101's Local Music Showcase in Chicago). Their singer is also currently a member of ex-Misfits drummer Dr. Chud's band. Did you even follow the link to their website and read through all the professional reviews of their albums (Rolling Stone magazine, for example)? How about the fact that they were named after Jerry Only of the Misfits, something (he has stated) he considers an honor. Then there is Rob Zombie who stated that they are one of the best horror rock band he has ever heard. I could go on but whats the point. There are so many pointless articles on Wikipedia that are FAR less noteworthy and are perfectly acceptable under Wikipedias guidelines. And as far as references go, again there are countless articles on Wikipedia that are more noteworthy than The Rosedales that do not contain a single reference. Tag the article as not citing references if you must but do not tag articles for deletion simply because you have not done your homework. Thank you.

Also, I see that the user that tagged this article for removal goes around tagging lots of articles in the same fashion. Reading through the comments, he is apparently not very reputable, with some users accusing him of vandalism. Think I may report him as well if this continues. Again, this article may not cite references, and it may even indeed need some polish. But this band is certainly noteworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikoz78 (talkcontribs) 22:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
