[edit] My american heart

Neither allmusic nor artistdirect has heard of them. RickK 05:53, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Comment they are on the schedule for the Warped tour, playing nationwide, but they don't have a contract with a major label- I'm not sure how these two facts balance out with respect to the criteria for band inclusion. If it was kept the capitalisation would need to be fixed--nixie 06:14, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - when your lyrics are posted on all the usual lyrics-websites, that's a pretty good sign that someone other than the band members think they're worth a listen. 5000+ Google hits plus Warped tour equals notability. -- 8^D ^gab 07:34, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)
  • For those of us who are not au fait with contemporary music... could you mention a couple of their songs and a couple of the "usual lyrics websites" that contain them? BTW how do these sites get their lyrics—do they represent an independent evaluation, or can a band post its own lyrics to these sites in order to promote themselves?

• keep--Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines says that one possible criteria is "has gone on a national tour in a large or medium-sized country". Meelar (talk) 07:43, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Move to My American Heart Musicians should not be excluded because they do not have a record label contract. This band appears notable. Halidecyphon 07:46, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, no recorded output, no allmusic listing, band members listed only by their first name... sorry but this article just isnt it. Megan1967 09:06, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - they are planning to release a record and planning to make a tour. Come back when they've done it. Radiant_* 08:43, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. They meet the notability for music guidelines. The Warped Tour is pretty big, so I believe them to be notable. Robinoke 19:12, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
