Non-notable band, since it doesn't provide links but a MySpace link. Esanchez(Talk 2 me or Sign here) 03:53, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete but not speedable as I first thought when I read the nomination. Their MTV appearace(s) are enough of a notability assertion to avoid speedy, problem is, they have nothing else going for them. Even the author seems to be insecure about this band's notability, at least whether it is notable enough for Wikipedia, when he wrote, "This band should be kept on Wikipedia, because it has been described in the Ajax, Ontario section of the site." --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 04:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as per nom. Not notable. — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 04:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as failing WP:MUSIC unless their two albums were on a notable label in which case it would have to be a keep, although the article is a total mess.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 19:42, 27 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete/Rewrite Aside from not appearing to be notable per Wikipedia guidelines, this article is very poorly written. At the very least this article should be stripped down and rewritten from scratch.--Jeff Johnston (talk) 16:56, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Looking at the history of this entry I noted that it appears that the article was created by The Johnstones in self-promotion. The biographical section is very amateurish with comments like "He wears glasses and yells into the mic[sic] during the song "L.A.D.I.E.S".", "parties hardy", and "wears a really awesome Globe hat". The article provides no internal or external links or citations. Embarrassingly bad article. --Jeff Johnston (talk) 17:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
