Birmingham 6 (band)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Although they have dalliances with other notable bands, notability is not inherited, and without any independent coverage in multiple reliable sources, this band fails the guidelines for inclusion. A major contributor has no other edits apart from this article, and is called, erm, Birmingham6, so conflict of interest issues too, which although not proving unnotability certainly doesn't help its case.

Delete for lack of standalone notability. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 03:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless reliable sources showing notability can be added to the article. Jim Heaphy (talk) 03:30, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:MUSIC#5 - two or more releases on a notable indie label (Cleopatra records in this case), as per their Discogs page. Lugnuts (talk) 09:19, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Five albums on Cleopatra Records, decent Allmusic bio, and Allmusic reviews.--Michig (talk) 07:02, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Michig; I also added a quote cited to an American newspaper in 1997, that they were "among industrial music's most compelling bands". Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 01:58, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
