[edit] Job for a Cowboy

Appears to fail to meet every single one of the WP:BAND criteria, even though they come close to fulfilling several. Delete for now, may restore later when they actually meet at least one. --Nlu (talk) 18:47, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

• Kill it now before it has a chance to spread I vote delete per the fact that it is completely unwiki. !paradigm! 19:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)!paradigm!

• Delete nom's right, this band does not currently satisfy WP:BAND.-- danntm ^T _C 00:03, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - If these guys don't merit a decent w/u on allmusic.com, then they probably don't belong here either. Caknuck 06:33, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Meets WP:MUSIC. The band is signed to one of the biggest metal labels; Metal Blade Records and seems to have toured through US from June 10 to July 22 [1], and UK from August 1-13 [2]. This is a highly well-known mainstream metalcore band. Even their Wikipedia page gets over 50 edits per month. Don't be an ostrich, use Google. Prolog 07:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Only the UK tour was verified, and the US tour was "with" a bundle of other bands. I don't think this is sufficient. --Nlu (talk) 07:43, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Either way, it does fill at least one of the criteria of WP:MUSIC. I don't think this Afd really surves any purpose as the band, judging from the talk page and Last.fm, is clearly popular among some and will probably have its article re-created within a few weeks. The re-creation will then re-ignite the genre debate. Prolog 16:31, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per Prolog. --badlydrawnjeff talk 10:57, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Doesn't quite yet meet the notability reqirements of WP:BAND, and article provides no third-party sources as specifically required by WP:V. --Satori Son 14:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
