Fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musical ensembles. Neelix (talk) 15:10, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musical ensembles. Point 6 – "Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles.". John Wylie and Damien Moyal are notable in their own right, although some of the other band members are certainly future AfD cases. Lugnuts (talk) 17:16, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. The band members in the last incarnation largely became this band. Some sources on the Wylie and Moyal articles might make the criterion 6 argument more convincing. It looks like there might be some GNews hits for Moyal: [1]--Michig (talk) 08:36, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nominator - The claim to notability based on the independent notability of Wylie and Moyal is a cyclic one; Moyal's claim to notability is that he has been in notable bands like Culture while Culture's claim to notability is that it has had notable members like Moyal. The band itself does not pass the the general notability guideline as it has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
