[edit] Everything at Once and Scott McCurdy
Non-notable band. They've released 1 album (possbly on a major label), and the article references them as having won a 2005 Hamilton Music Award; the website for that award is here, and as you can see, it's for people in the local scene. Scott McCurdy is the drummer for this band; both articles were created, and all substantive edits were made, by the same editor. Mangojuicetalk 16:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Right so becuase you decide the band is not notable they shoudl be deleted. Then, in 5 months when you think they are special enough to include them in the public record then entry is allowed to stay? Total rubbish. Leave the entry, they are on a major label and so what if they are independent? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.143.58.151 (talk • contribs)

- Delete. May become notable in the future, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Regarding the one album - the amazon.com sales rank is above 200,000, the amazon.ca is above 100,000. Stu ’Bout ye! 16:00, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Needs cleanup and citations (especially of touring, if that is to help notability), but is signed to a label (not a major, but as said above, so what?), and has won an award. Come on, Stu, you can't really think Amazon is the authority on notable music! Parsssseltongue 16:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. The award is a local one, for bands from Hamilton, Ontario. And I think Amazon sales rank is a good guide to notability. In their native country, their album is the 100,000th best selling album. No All Music Guide entry, no Discogs entry. Stu ’Bout ye! 08:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. Yes it does need a clean-up agreed. Tour information from their Myspace does list some big shows/festivals and notes that major tours are in the works. Also, their album is available on "itunes" in the US for purchase (though apparently not in Canada). So, doesn't thq that make them as noteable as being on Amazon?. On top of that, according to the "all music.com website" anyone can have an entry on Allmusic provided they send them a free CD and you can buy the CD "AMG will add any product submissions we receive to the database as long as they are commercially available in their country of release. The best way to ensure that your title receives full coverage is for you to send us one copy of the product along with any relevant promotional materials, such as press releases and artist photos." So how does that make allmusic the be all and end all? Perhaps the band has done this? Who knows. Lastly, who are we to write independent or up and comming bands out of history? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.143.58.151 (talk • contribs)
