  • Delete Sole claim to fame is releasing an LP and EP on a minor label and thus fails WP:MUSIC. JChap2007 01:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I vote to keep. Authough I don't personally like the band: they are very important on their scene and their album is currently number 9 in the UK Rock charts. Robincard Robincard 07:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep WP:Music says "Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media" - They have appeared multiple occasions in Kerrang, and have even received a special pullout mini-magazine in Rock Sound issue 91, as well as one of their tracks being on the free CD of that magazine. They have also won a "Best Newcomer" Kerrang Award. --Cardboardboxman 14:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep is a boss band and has a great live show. been featured in many many magazines up and down the country, released a sold out EP, a massive selling album, has a huge fanbase and has done many achievements most bands have not in past two years. --ChrisDT 14:19, 14 November 2006 (UTC) — ChrisDT (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Keep. The award win seems to make them sufficiently notable. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 21:28, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. The band have had a massive two page poster in Kerrang the biggest selling weekly magazine in the world, as well as winning the award, as well as being on a record label that is owned by Sony records. Xsharksx 18:35, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

So, serially re-created band vanity. Pretty close to 100% of the edits to this and the linked This Is What The Edge Of Your Seat Was Made For and Count Your Blessings (also previously deleted) are by anons and users with little or no history outside of this one subject. It's really hard not to see this as vanispamcruftisement. Guy (Help!) 14:11, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I think the band have only just reached the point where they are relevant enough to be included in Wikipedia hence the articles being deleted in the past...you can just expect a band to start and suddenly be notable, can you? Robincard 18:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
See User:JzG/And the band played on... Guy (Help!) 22:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
I can't see any evidence that the band added themselves Weed patrol 11:55, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
