[edit] Letter kills

Doesn't really outline anything from Wikipedia:Notability_(music). I can't find any sources whatsoever on their tours, their whereabouts, their charted hits or anything. Feel free to dispute. --Fractions 17:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Their album was released on a major, nationally distributed label. --Woohookitty^(meow) 11:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - one album on a major label does not establish notability according to the guideline. They need to have two albums, or have a least one charted hit or gold album. --Aguerriero (talk) 17:29, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per established notability. --Aguerriero (talk) 19:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - 280,000 Google hits, listed on All Music Guide, signed to major label, played Vans Warped tour (and has toured the U.S., including with Story of the Year). I kindly and respectfully request that anyone who has voted delete change their vote, and that nominator withdraw nomination. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 18:09, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Withdraw nomination? This is a legitimate listing, because the article does not establish any notability per WP:BAND. Google hits and being on All Music Guide are not criteria. A national tour is a criterion - so why don't you edit the article to include that information and establish notability? Then, I'll reconsider my "vote". --Aguerriero (talk) 18:43, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country, reported in notable and verifiable sources. Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers, personal blogs, etc...). Anything less than a Keep at this point would be leaving one's head in the sand. PT ^(s-s-s-s) 19:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - Almost meets WP:MUSIC for one album on Island Records, and has toured nationally, although on a tour with many other bands. However, multiple media references definitely meets it. The two that clinched it for me were Christianity Today [1] and Rolling Stone [2]. --Joelmills 00:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment - I added those two refs to the article. --Joelmills 01:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Comment Looks like I've been proved wrong! :). Good finds. --Fractions 03:36, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

• Can we consider that a nom withdrawn and a speedy keep? PT ^(s-s-s-s) 17:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
