This band appears to fail WP:BAND. Its albums were self-published by founder Andrew James McGarry on his occasional indie label [http://www.petpiranha.com Pet Piranha Records]. The most prominent mentions I've found online have been [https://archive.org/details/iuma-mercury_tilt_switch an entry at the Internet Underground Music Archive], [http://www.collective-zine.co.uk/reviews/?id=4680 an album review in an e-zine by two other British musicians], [http://www.last.fm/music/Mercury+Tilt+Switch a user-contributed bio from last.fm], and a trivial mention on [http://www.bigmouthstrikesagain.com/archives/5238 a personal blog]. There is no evidence that the band ever received an award or widespread radio play, or was the subject of a non-trivial published work. The title is unsuitable for redirection to Mercury switch because it would violate WP:NCCAPS. G. C. Hood (talk) 22:33, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Keep. There's a little bit of web coverage out there, including two staff reviews of their singles from Drowned in Sound [http://drownedinsound.com/releases/5073/reviews/10143][http://drownedinsound.com/releases/5757/reviews/6343-]. There are three pieces from The Scotsman: [http://www.scotsman.com/news/rock-band-switched-on-for-tilt-at-big-time-1-859172 a live review], [http://www.scotsman.com/what-s-on/music/new-releases-rock-and-pop-1-627311 an album review] and [http://www.scotsman.com/what-s-on/music/never-ending-energy-fuels-explosive-night-1-881589 a few paragraphs] from when they supported Biffy. There's also [http://www.list.co.uk/article/352-mercury-tilt-switch-album-review/ an album review] in The List. I think that just about scrapes the bar at WP:BAND and meets the WP:GNG. — sparklism ^hey! 09:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

Delete Bands with marginal notability clutter up our namespace and so should be deleted when their title would tend confuse readers looking for the primary topic. Andrew (talk) 10:02, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
That's not a reason to delete, only to move the article. Peter James (talk) 20:57, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Weak keep notability may be marginal, but coverage seems to be significant enough and on several occasions. Peter James (talk) 20:57, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
Keep they have had significant coverage, as sparklism shows, plus often featured on Vic Galloway's radio shows. --Vclaw (talk) 15:50, 30 August 2014 (UTC)
