Notability

The article fails to establish that the subject it purports to describe - a "music scene" called Thamesbeat - even exists. True that the term was used by a band called The Pleasers (1976-1979) for the reason so awkwardly described ("a piss take") and true they have released one album with that title. However, all the other bands and performers referenced in the article seem to be from the period 2004/5 to present, some twenty-five years after The Pleasers ceased to exist (a couple of re-union gigs notwithstanding). The article fails to establish either that these other acts had any connection to The Pleasers or with each other, or that they considered themselves part of a "Thamesbeat" scene. The article's one reference is a link which leads nowhere relevant. Agree there should be an article on The Pleasers, but almost nothing here is worth keeping for it.KD Tries Again (talk) 05:51, 10 March 2010 (UTC)KD Tries Again

Delete. One band's joke, not a genre. Attempts to include other bands under the umbrella appears to be original research — Gwalla | Talk 23:36, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
