Teenage Dog Orgy[edit]

After a brief discussion with DragonflySixtyseven, neither of us has been able to confirm this band's erstwhile existence as of yet. In the article, the group is described as a four-person group active in 1985 and 1986 which produced no albums and gave a handful of live performances (at unspecified venues in Scotland). Of the listed members, only Paul Hullah has an article, and that article happens to be the only other major contribution of Blescoe (talk · contribs) (who I believe claims to be Hullah himself while uploading Image:Redshirt.jpg); the Hullah article itself might also be a candidate for an AfD.

The article does cite three sources, but beyond confirming the existence of such publications I can't speak to their contents just yet. I'm a bit torn, here. Am I not finding confirmation because I don't know where to look, or because it's not so much there to be found? – Luna Santin (talk) 02:26, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article states that they were active '85 and '86 but the live reviews are dated 1988 and 1989? Makes me doubt the WP:RS LegoTech·(t)·(c) 02:56, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Luna Santin (talk · contribs) and Legotech (talk · contribs), and even the sources given doesn't really seem like a significant amount of coverage. Cirt (talk) 03:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just to point out - although there are a lot of Google hits for the string "Teenage Dog Orgy", it is a... shall we say, a noisy search. DS (talk) 04:20, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not sure this even asserts notability. There are many Google hits for "Teenage Dog Orgy," yes. Many are for Keyword strings including those words but having nothing to do with the subject. Notability/verifiability is not based on Google count for a string of text. The essential test would be for national tours, records/CD's on a suitable label, scoring well on the charts. I have not located any Google hits that support meeting WP:BAND. I find nothing at Allmusic. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 00:23, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I dug around a bit too, and couldn't turn up anything useful. While there may be print sources that would help, I'd be surprised if there was enough to justify keeping. - Bilby (talk) 06:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
