Notability

[edit]

I'm not sure if this band is notable enough for their own article. I declined speedy deletion because the band has had songs appear in major national TV shows, which is a clear claim of significance, enough to not be speedily deleted. However, to be considered fully notable, a band has to meet WP:BAND; one thing that says is that having music in a major tv show may help establish notability, but if it's the only claim, it's probably better to just mention them in the article about the tv show/episode. So, unless more sources can be found to verify notability, I may nominate the article for deletion. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:03, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Captain Ahab's website has a page listing a number of articles/reviews about them. The highlights seem to be a Pitchfork review of a recent track and a Skyscraper magazine article that was in a 2006/2007 print issue. 208.40.178.2 (talk) 23:01, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How did it end?

[edit]

Did they split up? What happened to them? Maikel (talk) 15:08, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They finished a tour in Europe a years after the release of their last album, then after a while they announced they'd do one last show in LA November 2nd, 2012 after other projects were taking up Snipes's time. The last show was pretty rad. Jonathan Snipes is in clipping. (mentioned on the wiki page) and composes film scores. Jim Merson was out in LA until recently - he's not in the music industry anymore.
