~~Delete~~ (see below) unless someone can provide a source for the unlikely statement that "Their pop sound has been featured in over 20 films and in such television series including Degrassi, Radio Free Roscoe, Queer as Folk, Falcon Beach, Party of Five, and Departures." Personally I find that hard to believe, given the rest of the article, but if it's true, I reckon that satisfies WP:BAND criteria 10 and possibly 12. In which case, I'll switch !vote to Keep.

The "over 20 films" claim comes from the Album Notes to Paper Moon's "Broken Hearts Break Faster Each Day", http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/paperm2 so I suppose that might be a CopyVio, but

Degrassi is true, see http://www.tv.com/shows/degrassi-the-next-generation/danger-zone-1263110/

Search for Paper Moon in film is complicated as PM was the title of a film in 1973.

Falcon Beach is true, see http://falconbeach.ca/index.aspx?go=/the_music.aspx

EndearingPublishing say on their website that Paper Moon have done Queer as Folk (Showcase), Radio Free Rosco (sic), Party of Five DVD, Kyle XY (ABC Family). http://endearingpublishing.com/endearing_publishing/past_placements.html, so it seems the 'unlikely' claims are substantially true.

In addition to the above, I see from a couple of searches that there's actually a fair amount of coverage in reliable independent sources, including Chart [1], Exclaim!, Vue Weekly, the Leader Post, and the Edmonton Journal. Keep even just on the basis of WP:BAND criterion #1. I'll start adding the sources over the next couple of days. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 20:00, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
