Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tons of Fun University
first i'll note that  says right up front that "the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted". that being said, they do meet some of the criteria: "a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, reported in reliable sources" - i don't know if it's a tour per se, but they have performed all over canada and in the US. most of canada's music festivals, for starters. "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style" - of slam poetry/spoken word, as in the youthink quote above. "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable" - not a band, but 2 of them are national slam grand champions. i think part of the problem is they are crossing genres; solely from a rock band pov they are probably not notable, but they are big names in the slam poetry community, and i think get notability here from that, just as if a musician put out a book of poetry
