The subject of the article does not meet the requirements for notability per WP:MUSIC. No charted songs, no albums, no major awards etc. Nv8200p talk 01:39, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete I did enjoy reading the article - the band just isn't notable Wikipedia-wise. MarkBul 02:10, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - At least they're not listing a MySpace page. Fails WP:Music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1redrun (talk • contribs) 08:20, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:Music, although I wish them well for the future. No MySpace page, but the YouTube video makes up for it. Accounting4Taste 22:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Very strong keep Easily passes WP:MUSIC, thank you very much. Members from this band later went on to be involved in prominent NZ bands such as DD Smash, Split Enz, and The Swingers, all of which had no. 1 hits in New Zealand, as well as Australia's internationally famous band Midnight Oil. The band embarked on a national tour, and were Auyckland's top punk rock band, and one of the two or three top exponents of the genre within New Zealand. I have added the required independent published sources so that they pass a fourth criterion of WP:MUSIC (remember, they only require one to be regarded as notable enough for an article). I wonder if those listing delete votes above actually read the page, since a band that split up 25 years ago are being "wished well for the future" and aren't "listing a MySpace page".

  • Keep per Grutness. The claim to be NZ's first punk band, and the subsequent career of several members certainly make this notable.-gadfium 01:44, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Any New Zealand band that was produced by Tim Finn and contained Phil Judd and Bones Hillman sounds notable enough for mine. Grutness has provided sources for the article. Capitalistroadster 03:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep for reasons stated above. --Helenalex 00:14, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep, as I agree with Grutness. I don't have much to add, but they had a tremendous effect on the development of New Zealand music's underground.Underscore b 22:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
