I have been able to find surprisingly little about this band in reliable independent sources considering the number of releases. I did find a news article confirming that they opened for Platinum Blonde at least once. The Pop Encyclopedia article appears to have been written mainly from information provided by the band members. Perhaps another editor will find something I missed. —Anne Delong (talk) 19:28, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: in its current state the article doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:BAND due to its lack of WP:RS. DrStrauss talk 20:30, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, surprisingly. This is definitely inadequate as written, but I actually was able to find some better sources in a ProQuest "Canadian Newsstream" search — not a ton, I'll admit, but enough — as well as evidence that they charted in RPM. And even more weirdly, while I'd have to investigate more thoroughly before making a final determination one way or the other, there's at least the possibility that lead singer Kevin Connelly may also separately clear GNG as an individual since I found a couple of sources about his later solo career in the process — which, if borne out, would also put them past the criterion of having had two independently notable members (even though Les Stroud is technically notable for television work rather than anything related to music per se, he's still notable.) Also, turns out that the first album's producer got a Producer of the Year nomination from the Juno Awards for it, too. I don't have time to tackle this right away, but I'll take a stab at improving it this evening. Bearcat (talk) 16:21, 4 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article updated with improved content and sourcing. And I'm writing a song of praise to ProQuest too, as that database now gives me quite a large spectrum of newspapers that it never had at all before this week, including two from which I've pulled citations here.
