[edit] Akron/Family

Music group with no assertion of notability. Though the group has technically gone on an "international concert tour", the only venues listed on the site are such things as bars and cafes. Nameneko 05:09, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

As it seems to be a unanimous "keep (and expand)" vote, I'm going to retract my AfD nomination and vote keep and expand knowing that there are similar articles around Wikipedia and that this article qualifies under WP:MUSIC. An administrator may close this discussion when they feel that it is appropriate. -Nameneko 20:26, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per WP:MUSIC criterion #2. According to the band's own web site and their record company's web site, they are currently on a tour of eight European countries (not even counting their work with Angels of Light, which could give them another seven countries). They may not meet any other criteria, but their tour looks sufficiently international to qualify them. The article could use significant improvement, though. --Metropolitan90 06:12, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
  • However, does "international" simply mean a string of performances in small venues in more than one country? -Nameneko 06:37, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
    • Bands like The Legendary Pink Dots and Current 93 tour internationally, and perform almost exclusively at small venues. I wouldn't say that these bands are not notable because of it.--Kooky | Talk 08:07, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Allmusic.com notes two albums counting a split recording with Angels of Light see [1]FAMILY&uid=CAW060510230314&samples=1&sql=11:702tk6rxtkra~T2 as well as the international tour despite the size of the venues. Capitalistroadster 07:16, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but expand the article. The band is somewhat new (2002) but has really gained niche popularity. --Kooky | Talk 08:07, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This needs expansion. The Republican 18:35, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
