There are numerous assertions of authority but this doesn't look like it passes WP:MUSIC. A new single is the best they have. Ricky81682 (talk) 08:03, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 12:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - World famous yet completely unknown. Fails WP:MUSIC on all counts.    SIS  01:00, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete no evidence it passes WP:MUSIC. Could be a viable re-direct to Pancakes#North_America for that concept. TravellingCari 03:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, I found this in WP:MUSIC: "Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network." They get played every day by a chain of stations in Australia (I don't know the parent company but in my city, Hobart, it's SeaFM and I think there is SeaFM in other places too). They also get played in "The Hit List" countdown on these stations.  PN57  23:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a source for that? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect -- to Pancake Kitchen if it ever exists. Their well known 6 stacker pancake serve is possibly more widely known that this outfit. - Longhair\^talk 06:16, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, famous in Australia, opening act for several famous bands (Simple Plan, hello!), single being played on major radio stations, music videos being played on tv, and I know for a fact their single sold out at JB-HIFI. Just because you haven't heard of them in America does not mean they aren't notable. --Candy-Panda (talk) 09:03, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, this band is notable in Australia. Their songs are played on the radio therefore they are notable. Most google hits are for the band and not pancakes. IAmAnnoyed (talk) 09:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• • Sweet, if you've got some sources for that, I'm willing to change my vote.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 10:23, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, Short Stack are rising young Australia Talent and are quite popular down here. They've not only beaten Britney Spears and Bullet For My Valentine for most popular video on youtube for a day, but they continually play on Fox FM, or 2Day FM as they call it in New South Wales... AND their on Video Hits every weekend. Short Stack have even done interviews with 2Day FM and Nova. They also have fanbases across the world, even America and Germany. visit their myspace > www.myspace.com/shortstackband I went to their Melbourne gig, trust me, their real, and awesome. Go see them support Simple Plan this October across Australia, and buy their new Single Shimmy A Go Go out now. =]--User:Dakota7104 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dakota7104 (talk • contribs) 12:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm glad "their real and awesome" but I don't see any reliable 3rd party sources. Point me to them and, like Esradekan, I'll happily change my opinion.    SIS  12:34, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• • Comment - just to note that if the band are decided to be notable, the article reads like an advert and needs serious wiki love. Onesecondglance (talk) 12:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Sources: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] --Candy-Panda (talk) 03:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep, the claims about the band at [6] are probably enough for them to meet WP:MUSIC, but I'm not sure that the "Central Coast Express Advocate" is a particularly reliable or credible source. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:28, 4 October 2008 (UTC).[reply]
