After I tagged this article for speedy, its creator mentioned something about a rather high number of listeners on an online music site. It seems credible, so I withdrew my own speedy and brought the article here. Blanchardb-^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}-timed 02:29, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I'd say keep because there does seem to be some notability through WP:BAND and sourcing available. BUT... my WP:HEY is that the article be expanded with more information and the sourcing to go with it. The article, as it is, is not encyclopedic. --Pmedema (talk) 09:14, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

• Keep As the (re)creator of this article, I agree with Pmedema that it needs expanded, and can work on this. I'd also like to thank Blanchardb for not speedy-deleting them.

Update: I have expanded the article, hoping that it is more encyclopedic now. Additionally, I have learned:

• Comment: Ollabelle seems to be notable enough for inclusion, but just barely. The page seriously needs to be Wikifyed and alot more information needs to be included. I'd say delete now, but if the author could add more information and confirm notability, then i'd say keep. – Jerry^teps 03:45, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - if you think they are notable enough for inclusion (even if barely), then there is no reason to delete the article. A lack of references is an editting issue that could be addressed with a {{unref}} tag. -- Whpq (talk) 13:09, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment All information in the article is referenced. --AlanH (talk) 14:51, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
      • Comment: At the time of writing there was barely any information on the page, and barely indicated why it was significant. The main article still needs alot more information though. The albums also need expanding. – Jerry^teps 08:20, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
• Keep and expand this interview from All Things Considered, and this review in Entertainment Weekly is rather convincing. I also found this, this, this and a few other news hits that look promising. If I weren't about to go to bed, I'd expand the article myself. Ten Pound Hammer Farfel and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells• Otter chirps)} 03:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment Good stuff; thanks for the links! --AlanH (talk) 14:25, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep: Band seems slightly notable but still needs alot more information in it. – Jerry^teps 08:20, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
