Aparrently a non-notable band, although the article claims (but does not substantiate) airplay on BBC Radio 1 so not a speedy candidate. Delete; fails WP:MUSIC. Ros0709 (talk) 19:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and Tag- Looking up refs, I've found several hits here, here, and here. The last link indicating that the band played at a festival of some sorts and had some connection with BBC. ~ Bella Swan^? 19:52, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - probably borderline notability, but there has been coverage of the band in the links provided above. Not a garage band (any more). – Toon^(talk) 20:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, as the references provided by Bella Swan indicate sufficient coverage of this band in third-party reliable sources to establish its notability per the general notability guideline. John254 00:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Lacks multiple non trivial coverage in independent reliable sources. No releases, no awards, minimal airplay. Duffbeerforme (talk) 09:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Those who know mer of AfD know I don't vote to Delete many band articles, but they don't pass WP:MUSIC yet. ("Yet", being the operative word). They're unsigned, and haven't even released a record. All the references found above are local papers noting local gigs. Using those criteria one could establish notability for any band that's ever made the listing pages in your local newspaper. This is one for "bring back when they've established themselves".

• Delete Doesn't meet any of WP:MUSIC, end of story. As entry stands no general notability, either. Brammarb (talk) 21:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, doesn't meet WP:NMG from the evidence provided. Stifle (talk) 22:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
