Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Title (band)
I randomly came across the page after it had been tagged as a hoax. I'm not really big on the synthpop scene, but I've determined that since Hugo Bugg is certainly a prime example of the genre in Toronto, and Title is his "official" band, it counts as notable. Indeed, their last full album, Moonfly, was produced by http://music.msn.com/artist/?artist=16165911&menu=credits&ipp=10&sb=2&startingItem=1 John Punter. If they're notable enough to be able to acquire talent like that, they ought to be notable enough for Wikipedia. (Moonfly is on page 6 of that list of albums produced by John Punter, if you are having a hard time finding it.) It was claimed that he has been nominated for a Juno award. A cursory search did not find the nomination, but I do not know Hugo Bugg's given name, so I did not search that. I also have not checked to see if any of the songs charted anywhere. I have included a pair of "maybe" reliable sources on the page, which mention the band. Between these, it appears that the chances are high that the band meets at least one of 's criteria. As I mentioned on the talk page, what the article really needs at this point is for someone familiar with the genre (or is at least familiar with Toronto's local artists...) to edit it and link to appropriate sources. I've found many, many, many less-than-reliable sources in at least 5 languages. So, at this stage, deletion is highly premature. Especially since the reliable sources needed for this article are likely to be print. And there's evidence that he toured Canada on a "semi-official" tour of some sort in the 1997 timeframe. That's about all I have to say about this at the moment, I suppose. I guess my New Year's Eve is going to be spent researching an artist who I liked enough to purchase his CD, but not enough to remember even when I bought it... Maybe it's time to find my hard disk from that time frame and see if I retained any relevant data which could point me in the right direction
