No claims of notability. My db-band tag was removed on the odd claim that being signed to a major label makes them notable by default. Where does it even say they are signed to a label, let alone a major one?

*'''Delete'''. Can find no evidence of notability per [[WP:GNG]] or [[WP:MUSIC]], and no sources are provided in the article. One of their albums does turn up in last.fm, where a total of [http://www.last.fm/music/The+Boyfriends/The+Ultimate+Opm+Collection 19 listeners] are indicated. Granted, their name makes searching difficult, and my Tagalog is not all that it could be, so if anyone can unearth solid [[WP:RS]] sources, would be happy to re-evaluate. --[[User:Hobbes Goodyear|Hobbes Goodyear]] ([[User talk:Hobbes Goodyear|talk]]) 19:03, 16 October 2011 (UTC) |

*'''Comment''': Several of their hit songs were revived by many artists. For instance, ''Dahil Mahal Kita'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNxYoc6VnF0][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roOG5cDfLGc] was made into a [[Vilma Santos]] movie theme song [http://www.philstar.com/funfare/article.aspx?articleid=178202&publicationsubcategoryid=70 here] (newspaper). This song was revived by [[Ogie Alcasid]]. ''Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal'' was revived by [[Lea Salonga]] here [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4xYX7-3N2A][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m0mGoAzMdI&feature=related] and [[Dingdong Avanzado]] here [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8ESihIp3VM]. The song was even made into a movie of the [http://video48.blogspot.com/2010/09/1992-metro-manila-film-festival-aga.html same title] (blog with scanned paper movie poster). Their hit songs continue to be hit songs by various artists every time these are revived. It's hard to find reliable online sources on them right now because most of those reliable sources have been published on paper long before the internet and scanners became popular.

- Comment: Several of their hit songs were revived by many artists. For instance, Dahil Mahal Kita [1][2] was made into a Vilma Santos movie theme song here (newspaper). This song was revived by Ogie Alcasid. Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal was revived by Lea Salonga here [3][4] and Dingdong Avanzado here [5]. The song was even made into a movie of the same title (blog with scanned paper movie poster). Their hit songs continue to be hit songs by various artists every time these are revived. It's hard to find reliable online sources on them right now because most of those reliable sources have been published on paper long before the internet and scanners became popular.
