Closing another AfD recently, I said that having an AMG entry was a sign of notability; but I don't think this band passes WP:MUSIC, even with their AMG listing of two singles that reached 33 and 44 in a minor chart. Searching for info is naturally difficult because of their name, but this one [1] dug up lots of irrelevant hits and little info. They might be notable; but it's difficult to tell, and certainly not from the article. Black Kite 23:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep Between the two chart singles and three albums on DCide Records I'd say they meet WP:MUSIC. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 23:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Um, that's my point really. The "chart singles" are on the Club Play chart, and the record label certainly isn't notable enough to meet WP:MUSIC either. It's sort of getting there, but.. Black Kite 00:03, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep, although it's close. My rule of thumb with AMG is not just an entry, but a bio; not sure which you meant. They have credits for a lot of people that would never pass WP:MUSIC, but when there's a bio, that tracks very closely with whether there are other sources. I'm finding PopMatters reviews of two albums and Washington Post and Washington Times reviews of shows. --Dhartung | Talk 00:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The Club Play chart is set up specifically to note the most popular songs within the dance music genres; it's no less legitimate than the Modern Rock or R&B charts. Chart hits are definitive proof of a group's popularity. Chubbles (talk) 00:37, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. The lack of citations from reliable sources indicates to me that the article fails to comply with the verifiability policy. Stifle (talk) 20:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Complies with WP:MUSIC at least on the grounds of chart success and coverage. A cursory search finds numerous reviews and commentary from the legitimate music press on the band and its albums. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Debate (talk • contribs) 05:01, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
