Kevin Hearn and Thin Buckle

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Very thin notability at best. Has some members of Barenaked Ladies and a couple albums out, but the only coverage I found on Google News was incidental coverage of their performances.

You tried this for Bros Creeggan and were proven wrong, and I hope the same happens here. Christ find something better to do — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.223.21.106 (talk) 22:07, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge to Barenaked Ladies. My search shows nothing usable to prove notability per WP:BAND. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources below. Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:50, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even searching just "Kevin Hearn" + name-of-their-latest-album, plenty of reliable sources turn up:
- Review in PopMatters
- Review in The Intelligencer
- Review in The Coast
- Review in Now
- Article in Wired
- Article about the album in Chartattack.com
- Article about the album in the Sault Star
- Article about the album and another in Jam!
Some of those could be added to this article; some would be more appropriate for the album article. I've also added multiple sources that are not available online—including such major newspapers as The Globe and Mail, The Vancouver Sun, and the Toronto Star—which overall address the subject in detail.
