Delete - as per mom. - Also agree with 76.66.193.224 above, would go further and say if kept after the current page is moved to Boy (Canadian band) the BOY page redirect should not redirect to the Boy (Canadian band) page but to Boy (disambiguation). Codf1977 (talk) 11:17, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Week Keep : Keep with the name change to Boy (Canadian band) and BOY a redirect to Boy (disambiguation) Codf1977 (talk) 13:58, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, no evidence of notability. PKT(alk) 11:25, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep – meets multiple criteria of WP:BAND and the general notability guideline. Just now I've added several references including an article in Billboard, and this is just a sample of the many newspaper and magazine articles written about this musical act. It should be moved to Boy (Canadian band) as per naming conventions. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 22:38, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Paul, I think you might have just saved this article. Nice job with the refs. --Manway (talk) 19:28, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep — references now establish notability. — Jonathan Bowen (talk) 12:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Since the article now has a reasonable chance of survival, I have done the Move to Boy (Canadian band) as suggested, and made the necessary adjustment at Boy (disambiguation). Not sure if further disambiguation for the capitalized word "BOY" is necessary but disambig's are not my area of expertise. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:52, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
