Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. If these guys ever get it together and actually put out their debut album (they've been trying since 2004, so they'd better get with it), and if the album actually becomes notable in any way, then maybe they'll deserve an article.

  • Strong Keep Existance is very well sourced (NME, the guardian etc) all sources define this collection as an established group, also contains very notable members. The fact that they may not have released an album is of no consequence. They pass WP:MUSIC criteria 1 and 6. --neonwhite user page talk 05:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Cleaned up the article, mainly formatting. --neonwhite user page talk 15:23, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep They have already played shows , contain notable members from New Order, The Stone Roses and The Smiths and have recorded a track used as The Tube radio show theme. The article is well sourced and I cannot see any benefit from deleting it. Cavie78 (talk) 13:52, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep WP:MUSIC may be a red herring in this context. I believe the band passes WP:N in its own right. Consider this from the Guardian: The (Tube) producers, north-west-based independent UK1FM, have pulled off something of a coup in persuading Freebass, the collective name for Hooky, Mani and Andy Rourke of New Order, Primal Scream and the Smiths, respectively, to compose the show's signature tune, which, just to complete the name-dropping, has been remixed by the Utah Saints. There's more in the article, but that's notable enough for me. Sheffield Steeltalkstalk 21:27, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
