• Keep, notable band; released two albums on a notable Dutch label (Displeased Records); has an allmusic profile [1] --TBC☆^{O M G!} 01:02, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

TBC, can you give us more information about what qualifies Displeased Records as notable, as compared to the "major label" as mentioned in WP:Music? TIA. Sandy 02:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Elbows In It applies under the recognized independant labels clause of MUSIC. Teke 05:28, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep - clearly notable, clearly meets WP:BAND. dbtfz^talk 04:20, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • I see nothing in WP:BAND that they meet -Nv8200p talk 03:57, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
    • "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country" and "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." dbtfz^talk 04:13, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I wouldn't know them from a hole in the ground, and if they gave a concert in my living room, I'd probably go to bed. Brian G. Crawford 15:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep; they released 5 full-length albums on independent labels - certainly meets WP:BAND Spearhead 18:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. They are notable per WP:BAND, and the fact that most Wikipedians wouldn't know them from a hole in the ground should actually be in this article's favor; we need more articles about topics such as notable Dutch bands. EWS23 | (Leave me a message!) 19:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The perils of POV notability... For great justice. 22:49, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable band. Thetruthbelow 22:53, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've heard of them before coming here, that seems notable enough to me. ILovEPlankton 23:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Never heard of em, but Displeased Records is a blue link record label so I think they qualify. As I've said before, imho WP:MUSIC is there to weed out vanity articles, bedroom DJs, up and coming bands etc., and this is not one of them. --kingboyk 07:28, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - they seem notable to me. Metamagician3000 11:41, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - per TBC's snooping around :) Barneyboo (Talk) 11:44, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Easily meets notability criteria. Maestlin 17:00, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep May not be the most famous band ever but easily meets notability. : ) Lonesomedovechocolate 00:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, WP:MUSIC compliant, and good case of why we have to be wary of Anglo-centrism and systemic bias. Deizio 12:23, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
