The Bomb Bassets[edit]

Unreferenced since created in 2006, article is about a non-notable band. Google search brings up nothing except blogs, YouTube etc and Amazon attempt to sell album. Discogs (how reliable is that?) says one album was recorded in 1997. I can find no independent coverage to suggest notability. BBC Music has nothing. It may be that associated pages should also be included, i.e. Sweet Baby, John Denery (a member of this band but also of four others that lack Wikipedia coverage) etc. Emeraude (talk) 11:45, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep They have a small write-up at allmusic [1], usually an indicator of notability. But the only other coverage i could find was a Phoenix New Times review of a split single [2], and the website of the free weekly Metroactive [3] calling their contribution to a compilation a stand-out. These are from '97 & '98 respectively, not a great time for finding online sourcing. (Discogs is fairly reliable loosely-speaking, but relies on user-submitted data and so not a WP:RS). 86.44.49.108 (talk) 03:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - A short-lived Lookout! Records supergroup, including members of Sweet Baby and MTX. Esoteric, but this piece is factually accurate. Keep under IAR, use common sense to improve the encyclopedia. Carrite (talk) 18:44, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Upon further review: redirect to Dr. Frank. Carrite (talk) 18:47, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep if improved. By virtue of being signed to a relatively successful label and containing members of other notable bands, this is notable. However, the article, such as it is, is awful, with no expansion on details or success. Special K(KoЯn flakes) 22:29, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
