Keep Reference added. The Boston Phoenix is a reliable source, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Strummer25 (talk) 15:44, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The reliability of the Boston Phoenix is questionable (it seems to be a local indie paper which are generally quite favorable to local acts), but that question aside, the write-up that is referenced hardly rates as 'non-trivial' as required by WP:MUSIC. And none of the other criteria of WP:MUSIC are met. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:11, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Boston Phoenix received several awards for excellence in journalism, and has a circulation of over 250,000, so it is definitely reliable. You can call a blog, a school paper, or some extremist rag unreliable, but not a paper like this. See Wikipedia:RS. You're also totally wrong about trivial mentions. A CD review is non-trivial. Trivial mention would be the band's name appearing in gig listings. An article which evaluates the band's output is non-trivial. Strummer25 (talk) 18:26, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the quoted source is reliable, this isn't enough to meet WP:MUSIC. Criterion #1 states that the band must have "been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works", which this article does not suggest. Delete, unless other non-trivial reliable sources are forthcoming. sparkl_!sm ^hey! 20:30, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
