Seems like a non-notable band. Okay, they had nr. 1 hits in the Irish charts. Their first single went straight to 1 in the Irish Top 20, then to 5 and then it was gone. Their second single went also straight to 1 and then to 28.. That does not give evidence of a large fanbase. Most of the sources I have found were no reliable sources and this article is also just a collection of names and trivia The Banner talk 02:07, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Added rationale: persistent promotion. (Added after the comments of Murry1975 and 32.216.147.44 on 12 April 2015) The Banner talk 18:55, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It passes WP:NBAND. Two number ones so by 2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart it does pass. Murry1975 (talk) 15:40, 11 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per nom's delete rationale: two number one songs on Irish charts. [1] turns up more coverage. 32.216.147.44 (talk) 13:38, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Lots of recent coverage in Irish national media (some paywalled, some referenced in article). Meets WP:NBAND and WP:GNG, doesn't seem to contain undue promotional content (albeit after editing), and other factors raised in nomination are irrelevant (the size of their fanbase, or the fact that unreliable sources exist). --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:33, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
