I do not feel that this mage warrants speedy deletion under Article 7, "An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not state why its subject is important or significant" as I have attempted to outline, through comment on the band's use of classical themes and instrumentals and electronically generated music how that have both challenged and contributed to their genre.

If they are truly unique in that regard, you need verifiable references from reliable sources to back it up. Newspaper or magazine articles would be a good start. Precious Roy 01:04, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Whilst the author of this page needs to start citing some sources, I don't believe it qualifies for a speedy deletion as Gerspunken has made a previosu overseas tour, in the winter of 2006 in New Zealand/Australia, and this classifies it as notable under article four of Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musicians. I would suggest that the author would do well to find a source to refer to in this respect, but point out that even the assertion of this makes the article ineligible for a speedy deletion.
