[edit] House of Lords (band)
No reliable sources to establish notability. --Explodicle (talk) 15:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Having Gene Simmons as a manager is an indication of notability, and there is an article about him and this band here. There is a review of one of their 1980s concerts here. Bláthnaid 21:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

- A famous manager isn't one of the criteria for inclusion on WP:MUSIC; are there any sources that address the House of Lords in more detail? The first one only has a couple of sentences about them, and the second one just seems to talk about how unsuccessful their performance was. --Explodicle (talk) 02:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

- A famous manager makes it more likely that the band has been written about. This is the case in the first article that I linked to. A review of one of this band's concerts means that the band is notable. There is also an article about the band here, and German reviews of 2 of their albums here and here.

- They appear to meet criterion #1 of WP:MUSIC, as there is a fair amount of coverage in third-party sources. Keep. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 03:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep as per Paul Erik. They sound terrible though. sparkl!sm hey! 13:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy keep Meets numerous criteria; here are two (or three, depending on how you look at it): two major label albums (on Gene Simmon's vanity label though RCA), both of which charted on the Billboard 200 (refs added), founding member Gregg Giuffria was formerly of Angel and Giuffria (the latter band apparently morphed into House of Lords). WARNING: Unencylopedic comment ahead—They were pretty bad. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 14:14, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - Non-notable, crappy article. Needs a full rewrite if keep. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 19:44, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
