"Unsigned indie band" suggests instant speedy, but they get 76,500 Google hits, most of which are relevant. I'm unsure so I'm going to place it here. I'm going to go for Delete because it still says "Unsigned indie band". Hedley 03:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep looks to be a very popular unsigned indie band, with over ten thousand google hits on their album titled Broom. Flyboy Will 03:29, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. More info would be needed, and is unlikely to come and be relevant. Google searchs must be taken with a grain of salt, as anything with Boris Yeltsin or Broom in the field is going to pull in unrelated stuff. Have they got a website? If not, this is definitely a garage band. Harro5 03:35, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that my 76,500 search was with their name in quotes. It's unlikely to pull up Yeltsin stuff. They probably have a site, but I'd bet it's on Myspace. :p Hedley 03:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Their album is on amazon [[1]], and here's their official page [[2]] with what appears to be a respectable touring schedule. Flyboy Will 04:07, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd note that the Amazon page doesn't include the usual offical Amazon review, which suggests this is nowhere near a mainstream release and that the website is little more than a blog. But I'll allow others to vote as they please. Harro5 06:07, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Make that 76,600 references in Google. Some independent press coverage as well, noting the oldest member is 22. Seems notable enough, with tours in the US and Canada. Keep.—Stombs 04:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- S Club 8 was famous and notable when still under 16. Please don't judge bands based on the age of its members. - Mgm|(talk) 22:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and expand, hopefully. Draeco 07:12, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and expand. Normally, I don't vote to keep unsigned indie bands, but given the number and relevance of the Google hits, I'd say that while it fails the letter of WP:MUSIC, there is enough notability to keep them here. Hell, having that many hits without a label deal is an achievement. --Thephotoman 07:58, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep looks like they have managed to be somewhat notable without a label. --Krich (talk) 08:01, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep huge number of google hits. Their debut album "broom" has reviews all over the place (pretty good ones too from what Ive seen) -- Astrokey44|talk 08:20, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and expand --Closedmouth 08:29, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: It looks like 280 unique results, actually.

- keep. I would say they they're notable enough, even if it's just barely. More info would be nice though. I say expand the article. I would like to see links.--TaeKwonTimmy 02:37, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
