The Roadrunners[edit]

A band in New Jersey. Formed in 2001. No articles link here, but it is linked by VIP, a user talk page, and a user page. Google for "the roadrunners" is tainted by sports teams and such, so a reasonable search for "The Roadrunners" "Alex Smith" (Smith is the first band member mentioned in the article) was used, which returns 10 hits. A user identifying himself as a member of the band stated on the talk page that "no one outside of Haddonfield, New Jersey, a town of 2 miles square, has heard of The Roadrunners."

  • Delete. Fails the google test miserably. Having existed since 2001, if this band was remotely notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia, they would have some kind of web presence; even if only from fans. →Reene 01:40, Jan 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • No Vote In addition to these Roadrunners, there was a semi-famous band from Liverpool in the 1960s called the Roadrunners (geocities site-beware of the pop-ups) and another band named Jim Edgar and the Roadrunners that cut a 45 with Scepter records in the 1970s (Tennessee Stud/Wait A Little Longer). If anyone wants to write an article, the Liverpool band is probably the most notable of the three (despite the pop-ups).
