Pretty Boy Floyd (Canadian)

Wow, two bands with the same name! And both non-notable! Paul 05:25, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I can't speak for the US version, but the Canadian version of this band actually was somewhat notable, charting overseas and touring extensively. Its founder went on to form Outlaw Entertainment. I'm not even a heavy metal fan and I recognize the name. See this article. Needs some serious expansion. 23skidoo 13:13, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per 23skidoo. Guettarda 19:10, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable band(s). / Peter ^Isotalo 21:35, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Considering that "has had a Top 40 hit" is in and of itself considered a criterion of notability for Wikipedia articles on rock bands, I fail to see how a band that has met that standard suddenly has to meet an arbitrary and unexplained further criterion of notability. Keep on "has had Top 40 hit" grounds. Bearcat 22:45, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
