Citizen Fish

British ska punk band. Tagged for speedy deletion a lacking an assertion of notability (CSD A7) by UnitedStatesian, but their discography seems extensive enough to me to constitute a sign of notability per se. Listing on AfD to obtain additional opinions. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 20:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Seems to meet criterion #5 with two albums on Lookout! Records, but I'm turning up few sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 20:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. They've put out multiple albums on well known minor labels, have toured the world, and have a substantial fanbase. While they're not a mainstream band, they are significant and well-known in their genre. I see no basis for deletion. -R. fiend (talk) 20:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What the hell, full disclosure: I happen to know these guys. After seeing a bunch of their shows in the 90's and talking to them afterwards, we got to be on a first name basis. It shouldn't matter to this AFD but I might as well state it anyway. This isn't a case of some friends of mine forming a band, but being a fan of a band and later becoming friendly with them. -R. fiend (talk) 21:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable for their work in the genre. Editor of the wiki^{review my edits here!} 22:28, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Yes, I am the original speedier. Could someone please point me to the sources for this article? Or is verifiability no longer a Wikipedia policy? (Note: an interview, a primary source, is not a reliable source) UnitedStatesian (talk) 03:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:MUSIC #5 as its had more than 2 indie albums. A quick search found [1], [2]. --Captain-tucker (talk) 01:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
