[edit] Amphoteric (band)

Vanity band article; only links via Google are information on underground California rock bands; article was started by a member of the band (who also started Hart Hancock. None of their albums/songs appear to have charted on any major chart. Bumm13 08:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete no hits on allmusic.com. Article is more vanity than about a notable band. -- (aeropagitica) UK 08:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

keep. You can't go around deleting every indy artist your itchy fingers find. If they're non-verifiable and/or are some local band, fine. These guys appear to be semi-professional, have been around awhile and have released several albums. While the article may be written by a band member, I'm sure we can rectify the neutrality issue by cleaning it up. Not being signed to columbia or atlantic is not criteria for exclusion. --TaeKwonTimmy 08:56, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

comment Also, they're on clearchannel and appear to tour worldwide. floater (band) is a wikipedia staple and they're just as notable. --TaeKwonTimmy 09:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Strong Keep - Definitely notable, and their music is excellent as well. They have been popular since at least 2002. To aeropagitica: Allmusic.com has more errors than accuracy in their content, and too many holes where good (and notable) bands should have far more information available than is usually found. Allmusic.com is about as useful as religioustolerance.org in terms of comprehensive coverage of content. → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 10:06, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep and cleanup to remove NPOV issues. Stifle 02:47, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
