Duplicate bands[edit]

I'm sure this happens a lot... Came here looking for the current NSW Australia band called the Lurkers (lurkers.com.au) who wrote "Mining Man", better known as "Lock the Gate" 121.44.12.251 (talk) 23:12, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Desperate tone[edit]

This reads like a desperate attempt to make the Lurkers seem more important than they were. So many minor achievements scraped together into an article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.0.168.54 (talk) 08:53, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

They pass WP:BAND so they're entitled to an article. As are loads of other even smaller bands who pass the threshold.

Actually they pass WP:BAND on several counts (mutiple nontrivial reliable sources, been in a national chart namely UK Albums Chart, two albums on a big-name indie label namely Beggars Banquest, featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network namely several Peel Sessions) Romomusicfan (talk) 22:54, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
