I have reason to believe that most or all of this article is a hoax. Google brings up next to nothing about a band with this name in London. (Most are about a band in Toronto.) Response I have seen this band play and they can be reached on the UK search page of google.. Martin I cannot verify any of the claims in this article. (Those citation links are not citations.) The original author has repeatedly removed others' tags, including my cleanup and needs sources tags. The Gene (band) page does not mention the individual who was supposedly a former member from this band. Response I don't believe the individual was ever in Gene nor does the article claim this Delete unless sourced. Grandmasterka 04:09, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I notice The Lovegods have no mention on Wikipedia or Google.. presumably they don't exist either.. or perhaps that have not achieved suffiecient notoriety yet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.168.174 (talk • contribs)
- delete this is either an entirely non-notable band or it's just a plain old hoax. Either way flush it down the interhyperweb toilet. --Charlesknight 10:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom - don't think notability is there yet --Nigel (Talk) 12:32, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep i know this band! They are a big indie band in East London!! I have one of their records.. they are quite good John — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.168.174 (talk • contribs)
I entirely agree with the summations posted. The band has no notability nor sufficient prominence to be included in this encyclopedia and like many aspiring bands are merely trying to use this site as a vehicle for publicity. I eagerly await their swift removal, so that we can all get on with our lives, and so that they too can join the pioneers of indie such as Art Brut, Hefner and let's not forget the not forgotten Special Needs (now renamed The Needs) who rose to success through the notoriety of obscurity.. rock on! The band definately exist though and it's not a hoax.. I promise
