Result: Delist As noted below the prose needs tidying up, there are poor or unsourced content, ambiguous statements and the lead does not accurately cover the article. Issues have also been raised about external links (although not a GA criteria). No substantial work has been conducted to date to address these issues.

The prose is terrible. A lot of sentences begin with "The" or "In [date]…"
"Recent releases and appearances" is a messy list with no criteria for what should be on it.
Intro is too short.
Twitter and Facebook are being used as sources, which is not a good idea.

Overall, the prose is the biggest issue, but there are also large chunks of unsourced content. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:23, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I could note the "Gameography" section says "many". How much exactly would be considered as "many"? The "External links" section also has a MySpace link, as well as fansites, which WP:ELNO applies, and like you said, the lead is very short, being only 3 sentences.

I agree with TPH's points. I'm especially bothered by the random listing of performances and what song's they played. Not GA material at all, looks like the sort of junk IP's add to unknown band articles when no one's looking... Sergecross73 msg me 00:03, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
