The result was speedy keep per WP:SK#1. I withdraw this nomination, and no delete !votes are present other than the nomination. Thanks to the editors who worked to demonstrate the notability for this band. (Non-administrator closure.) Northamerica1000^(talk) 21:49, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A punk rock band formed in Cambridge, England that likely fails WP:N and WP:BAND. Source searching has not provided coverage in reliable sources. The only source in the article that is reliable for Wikipedia's purposes requires a subscription to access the article, so I'm unable to read it to ascertain it's length, level of coverage, etc. Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:09, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added more notable sources to the article, including their official webpages. They are notable in the Punk scene for being an early cult. Their first single supposedly sold 20,000 copies, and was included in John Peel's personal record box (which was unveiled after his death). This single was also the first release on Lee Wood's punk independent record label, "Raw Records" (later bought out by Damaged Goods). I believe they're also mentioned in a book on John Peel, but I'll have to dig it out to be sure. Johnny "ThunderPeel2001" Walker (talk) 23:04, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The band are covered in Georgege Gimarc's Punk Diary and have more than a page dedicated to them in Alex Ogg's No More Heroes.--Michig (talk) 07:43, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. No, they were not Elvis, Beatles, or the Rolling Stones, but they were a notable historical punk band as part of the 70s British punk movement. I added a few more cites.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 21:32, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
