No sources provided, and what I can find suggests this is a non notable band, Mccapra (talk) 19:38, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Per nom. The external links present in the article are not reliable sources that can establish notability. Further searches have turned up nothing substantial - the only thing I was able to find was a simple listing of local band performances in Albany that they were listed under.

Keep This band appeared on 2 notable compilation albums: The Blind Melon Tribute album and The Very Best Of "Restless Restless", which was featured on the Howard Stern Show. Msg6794 (talk) 21:55, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Except that neither of those albums have a Wikipedia article or pass WP:NALBUM for notability, and being on an album does not automatically make the band notable, per WP:INHERITED. Richard3120 (talk) 01:50, 23 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Found additional information about The Velmas' song Clue being included in an Xbox LIVE game "NLL Lacrosse" and added to article. Msg6794 (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Msg6794 what you added was an external link into the main article text that points to a page about an Xbox LIVE game, but the page you linked to does not mention the Velmas. That doesn’t support your ‘keep’ vote because if the Velmas did indeed supply the music for that game, the source you provided did not consider it noteworthy enough to mention. Mccapra (talk) 06:00, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I second the point that this keep vote is fatally flawed in that its premise is undermined by its stated source not mentioning this band. I would also be very careful about accepting unfounded claims of inclusion without evidence as a keep rational considering Wikipedia's basic principal is verifiability.

Delete Per the nom. I found no evidence this is a notable band in a WP:BEFORE search I did. Newshunter12 (talk) 11:12, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
