• Delete as non-notable band --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 20:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nom. ♠PMC♠ 20:09, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• The author asserts that they meet WP:MUSIC requirements. However, the article still needs to be improved to demonstrate that this is true. No opinion on deletion yet. Friday (talk) 20:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 02:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as per nominator, does not meet established WP:MUSIC guidelines in its current state. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 08:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• My personal band fame audit test:
  • Music Genome Project: not listed.
  • All Music Guide: not listed.
  • A9.com search for "Evil Adam" concert: no relevant results.
  • Result:I am still voting delete, as I did when I nominated the article. --M@rēino 16:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: The claim to fame seems to revolve around their music being used in various animes and in some upcoming movies from Troma. They're not a pretend band or garage band like we so often get articles about, but I'm not sure they meet WP:MUSIC either. Friday (talk) 16:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: Evil Adam is also extensively found on Last.fm Nth Man 19:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
• I'll go ahead and say keep on this one now, even though I was the original one who prodded it. They've been quite successful on mp3.com, and their music being used in various dvd and movies. We could maybe argue all day long about whether they exactly meet WP:MUSIC guidelines, but to me they seem like they're reasonably in the right ballpark. Friday (talk) 16:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: PS. People looking at this should be aware that the article has expanded and changed quite a bit since some of the early votes. Friday (talk) 16:31, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
