Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Defiants
per .  Just because the Defiants were a garage rock band in the 60's does not exempt them from meeting that criteria.  Other contemporaries of theirs meet the criteria (Question Mark & the Mysterians from podunk Saginaw, MI for example).  No reason the Defiants should get a free pass to circumvent this.  Also, the claim that their one single is still "in print" is without any sourcing, so it can't really be considered a valid external demonstration of notability.  Just mentioning that their one single appeared on a number of compiliations or anthologies isn't sufficient... this needs to be sourced. If someone can list even a few compiliations or anthologies this song appeared on I'd be willing to reconsider the notability issue, I personally couldn't find any (only found one 45 issued by Studio City records, 1965).  If this article survives AfD I'll edit it for copy and content
