Not notable band per
WP:BAND. The Morning Record reference provided is a newspaper source and is an independent and reliable one, but just mentions about the band and is trivial. The other source on Discogs.com is perhaps not reliable. Harsh (talk) 12:26, 16 April 2014 (UTC)reply
WP:BAND-#5 says-two albums on a major record label i.e, Decca Records in this case. Their first album Ratchell 1 was not released under Decca record as per the the source
[2]
6 says- The band must contain two or more independently notable musicians.
Chris Couchois is already nominated AfD.
2 says- The band has had a single or album on any country's national music chart. The song in Billboard 200 list in 1972. I can't verify it in Billboard 1972 archives. Harsh (talk) 16:44, 16 April 2014 (UTC)reply
Keep. These
twosources, in addition to Allmusic, show that the group had a charting album.
Thesesources show that both Ratchell and Ratchell II were released on Decca. As for coverage, I'm not seeing much, but there's
this reference from the article,
this piece from the Evening Independent, plus a pair of brief
Billboardwrite-ups. I have incorporated these sources into the article. For an admittedly obscure band from over 40 years ago, there appears to be sufficient material for an article. Gongshow talk 05:41, 17 April 2014 (UTC)reply
