I've rewritten the article a bit for you, added a template, some categories...I'm not too good at this stuff yet (if someone wants to cleanup my cleanup, be my guest). In your zeal of adding stuff, things got a bit messy. Much of the information was either condensed down to the template, or really not needed (more than half of it was article quotes...if we really need to see them we can look up the articles). I also threw in a link to your homepage and Reverb's homepage. I believe the sources now establish notability, but I dropped the indy magazine ones, they don't carry a lot of weight (The Globe and The Oregonian do, though). Feel free to add in some history, a discography, what have you...there's more to be done.And even if it still doesn't pass AfD, don't be discouraged. As I said earlier, you'll get there eventually. --UsaSatsui 11:20, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on the state of the article (also left on AfD page) The first external link doesn't pull up anything for me. The second (Boston Globe) seems to be a collection of media mentions, but they all seem to be blurbs about upcoming shows that the band is going to be part of with other, frankly more notable, bands. I don't see anything that meets WP:BAND beyond the Magnet mention. The article as you've rewritten it looks much better re: formatting. But I feel like the the original author is just having to stretch too much to make the case for WP:MUSIC. janejellyroll 19:17, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They're not the Stones, no. But I'd call it "multiple non-trivial published works". Just because a band just does opening acts doesn't make them non-notable. I think they're borderline, but I think it qualifies. Oh, I screwed up the links, they're fixed now. --UsaSatsui 22:26, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The problem could be with my computer, but the Boston Globe link is still not working for me. janejellyroll 22:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed it. There were pipe characters in there that confused the web site. For external links, you just need a space between the link itself and the description you want. -- Kesh 23:45, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

D'oh! Right. Thanks. --UsaSatsui 04:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
