• Delete per nom. --Kinu 22:54, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as a random single from a band without its own WP article. Stifle 01:59, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I would have been useful to have a link to the band's real title :) I'm not convinced it's a keep, but I do withdraw the delete vote. Stifle 01:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I created this page...it is not a "random band", but the first single by X Marks the Pedwalk before they became known as that. I guess I should have made that clear in the article :)The-dissonance-reports 03:10, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• Actually, I take back my vote. I am willing to put an external link in the X Marks the Pedwalk page to Scarecrow's Black Door single as listed on discogs.com [1] The-dissonance-reports 03:15, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

• The band has its own article now, so Stifle's reason is invalid. Johnleemk | Talk 14:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: The article does not appear to assert notability with any statistics, etc. but appears well-written. I don't know much about this band, so I'll defer until its shown whether this does or does not meet the band notability criteria. No vote. Savidan 15:19, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, I guess as a fan of and editor of articles concerning bands that are not popular, I never really considered the issue of notability. Obviously, it is not the band X Marks the Pedwalk that is on trial here, but this obscure release by the band's predecessor. As far as notability goes, it does appear that XMTP qualifies, having gone on several national tours in Germany and releasing several CDs on established indie labels such as Metropolis Records and Zoth Ommog. But like I said, I've already removed the link on the XMTP article to the Black Door single and replaced it with an external link to the entry on discogs.com I'm happy with this, but I do believe that the other XMTP releases deserve their own page.

Actually, I do have to admit that I believe every CD/LP deserves a page on wikipedia, but that's just a personal opinion :) The-dissonance-reports 19:48, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, debut single by notable band. Kappa 09:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
