Delete NN per WP:BAND Mayalld (talk) 10:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, Does not appear to meet any of the criteria in WP:MUSIC. Lankiveil (talk) 10:53, 20 December 2007 (UTC). Change to Keep, based on the point below, it was not clear from the article that Izen was a member of another notable band. Lankiveil (talk) 00:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC).
  • Keep. Band does meet at least two criteria in WP:MUSIC including articles 6 and 7. Matthew Izen is a member of Internationally touring band The Velvet Teen. Raccoonunit (talk) 11:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Band meets the two criteria above and likely #4 too. Will sort later - passing out at keyboard now. Torc2 (talk) 11:59, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, as per above, and as unsourced WP:OR. One Napa county newspaper is not enough to assert notability. Cirt (talk) 17:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC).
  • How do you get WP:OR out of that? Everything in the Wiki article is in the newspaper article. Torc2 (talk) 18:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Notable even though they took Jules Shear's band name. Mykej (talk) 18:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Even if the three MetroActive articles don't count (which they should), the article states that "a musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria." #6 is covered because guitarist Matthew Izen now plays (and has toured *internationally) with The Velvet Teen. milo56279 (talk) 20:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletions. -- the wub "?!" 19:30, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
