The Golden Dogs

Template:La – (View log)

No external reliable sources, just youtube and their website. No assertion of notability, and the article's a fair bit spammy. I had tagged this article (nn) back in Nov 2006 or so, and a numbered account removed the tag without improving the article. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 18:38, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete The discography and videography sections fail to demonstrate notability. Shalom ^Hello 21:06, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Non-notable, per nom. •Malinaccier• ^T/C 18:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• comment - I'd rather not see them deleted as they seem just on the edge of notable enough for a band. Though they need some third party sources/reviews. If those can be forthcoming, I recommend keep, if not....I think delete is the way to go. --Rocksanddirt 19:04, 13 August 2007 (UTC) After a brief bit of research, I found two things the play to enough notability. One is third party noticed plans for an international tour (they are in Canada and touring the eastern US in the fall of 07), and a review of a live show and latest record, though the source needs evaluation by someone in one of the pop music projects to evaluate. So, I change to Keep --Rocksanddirt 19:24, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Rocksanddirt. GreenJoe 20:00, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per WP:MUSIC. As Rocksanddirt said, they have an internation tour (criteria 4). They have two albums on True North Records, a fairly major Canadian label (criteria 5). They "have earned themselves a reputation for being one of Toronto's most exciting live acts" (criteria 7). Their song "Birdsong" was featured in a Zellers commercial (criteria 10). They also played North by Northeast, which showcases up-and-coming Canadian artists. --Gpollock 21:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
• Meets WP:MUSIC criterion #11 as well, as I can personally vouch for having heard them on CBC Radio 3. Keep. Bearcat 01:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Gpollock and Bearcat (as I have also heard them on CBC Radio 3). --Paul Erik 01:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep, they seem to pass WP:MUSIC. --musicpvm 02:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep per above sans Malinaccier and nom. With two records by a Universal Records subsidiary, and an International tour, easily passes WP:MUSIC. Bearian 18:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
