The result was Keep: appear to have enough to pass WP:MUSIC per the touring and refs added during the AfD. Bearing that in mind, I have also undeleted the album mentioned below. ELIMINATORJR 12:36, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Only evidence for notability is a single review (linked from the article on their album, which should also be AFDd) that describes the band as 'four snot-nosed punk kids who think that their album is "arty" because they are friends with bands like Ink & Dagger and have songs with stupid one-liners like "Killed by Fuck" and "Blend the Quick With the Slow."' This doesn't appear to establish notability to me. JulesH 13:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as per and JulesH.Harlowraman 02:31, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Relist with their albums - if we check the Discography in the article we find that they had 8 albums with articles. One has just been deleted leaving 7. It seems illogical to me to delete the group whilst leaving 7 pages of their albums. Better I think to package the lot together. I suggest a multi-nomination of the 7 albums together with a relisting of the group. TerriersFan 04:20, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Delete band and album articles - If they aren't notable, the albums aren't either, so just delete them now. Giggy\^Talk 07:54, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep Needs good references, for sure, but they are definitely notable--they were a pretty big underground band (on a nation, not local, level) when they were around. Two US tours are more than enough for notablilty (references are needed to back it up—I can temporarily verify it with WP:OR) but everyone has seemed to overlook that. I hesitate to do much work since the article pretty obviously will be s-canned soon anyway, what with all the delete !votes. Precious Roy 11:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Added some non-trivial references—including the cover of Maximumrocknroll fer cryin' out loud! More to come if I get the chance. Precious Roy 11:53, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
