[edit] Why this page should not be deleted

The group is quite real. Their history is [1]. The homepage is [2]. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:24, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

• The issue is not whether they are real, rather whether they are sufficiently notable for inclusion at Wikipedia. --Butseriouslyfolks 05:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
  • They might be. A look at Amazon shows them having several albums for sale. At least two of those albums are from major labels (Sony & Warner Brothers). That would appear to meet WP:MUSIC so it shouldn't be speedied. If you still feel it should be deleted, please take it to WP:AFD. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 11:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I rewrote several passages of the article and collected information from the websites noted to flesh it out. It may not be completely "wiki-pretty", but it's more now than what it was. I think anyone who won national awards in their genre are deserving of an article. Please help make this one better. First Call was a great group and they deserve mention. --Eddylyons (talk) 21:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I too think that First Call is a wonderful group, however, we need to make sure that the items you added are verifiable and citable before they can be allowed to stay in the article. I will give you the chance to cite the things you wrote before I tag them or remove them. Everything added to this article must be proven. So I appreciate your help and hope that you can help by citing your additions. Thank you Junebug52 22:25, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking a look. I've cited what I can from the articles that were available, and from the web resources I gathered my own information from. Some of the information is from news articles and from the websites noted in the External Links. Please help me by tagging what else you think needs citing. --Eddylyons (talk) 20:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

You did a wonderful job on citing your sources. I deleted the tag and want to thank you for your work. I still feel the article needs to be expanded and more substance needs to be placed into the article. I will start looking in some of my articles and archives to see what I can find that will be sourcable. Junebug52 22:38, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
