[edit] The Lost Boys (demogroup)

This article fails to establish notability. It is just a group of guys who do some programming. A simple Google query fails to return sufficient results. Delete as per nn. Tony Bruguier 20:48, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, "a group of guys who do some programming" is a pretty dismissive descriptor of demogroups. Usually notable demo folks go into the video game industry, and the article does assert the founders to be working in games right now. As for Google hits, since The Lost Boys are a historical entity (broken up in 1991), I don't believe the Google test is a good indicator of notability, still I could find a few old demos for TLB which means someone out there remembered them well enough to post info about them well after their breakup. hateless 00:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. It might be different if some of the projects had articles. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 19:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. As User:hateless above pointed out, 1991 was pre World Wide Web era, yet I can dig plenty of relevant google hits mixing such keywords as "TLB", "The Lost Boys", "Atari", "demo", "Spaz" (one of the members), etc [1]. As far as groups found in Category:Demo groups go, TLB seems to fit. Equendil Talk 19:17, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
