MSTRKRFT

I'm having difficulty locating non-trivial coverage of this act from reliable sources. My instincts tell me this fails WP:MUSIC and should be deleted on those grounds but I'd prefer to discuss this first rather than take the prod route. coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 21:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, they are a legit group and actually are on a nationwide tour playing at some decent sized clubs. Minfo (talk) 21:30, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I would say they are a very notable act, they have received mainstream coverage, etc. Tough to find links on Google, but many newspaper/magazine databases do cover this band. – Nurmsook! ^talk... 21:48, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, they won a Juno Award in 2007 [1]. For cover artwork, but the mere nomination seems to indicate notablity. xschm (talk) 23:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - they seem to have a decent presence in indie media (Pitchfork, Brooklyn Vegan, Dusted, etc.) and personal unfamiliarity with an article's subject isn't criteria for deletion. Fumoses (talk) 23:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Plenty of coverage in major news media including Billboard, multiple Canadian newspapers (I've added a bunch of those to the article just now), and their album was reviewed in such UK publications as The Guardian and The Sun. Much of the initial attention likely came because the duo contains a member of the notable band Death from Above 1979. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 23:56, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snowy keep. Very well known project of Jesse F. Keeler, formerly of Death from Above 1979. DoubleBlue (Talk) 04:27, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are plenty of sources out there, the article just needs some serious rescue and improvement is all. JBsupreme (talk) 05:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Meets the following WP:MUSIC criterion: 1 (several references provided at the bottom of article), 5 (signed to Last Gang Records), 6 (Jesse Keeler, a member of the notable dance-punk group Death from Above 1979 is a member) and 8 (won a Juno Award).

They're certainly notable per all of the above responses, and the article already contains a significant number of sources. Looks like snow to me. Keep. Bearcat (talk) 13:49, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (Ignoring Juno unless the band created the cover art) Member from notable band. Goes beyond redirect as band has major release on important label, large body of work with notable artists, noticable coverage. Duffbeerforme (talk) 14:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
