[edit] Shattered Faith (band)

Rescued from speedy. Not really speediable, but meets WP:MUSIC marginally if at all, having apparently just one record (I don't know how notable the label, Finger Records, is) and no assertion of major tours or venues. The one thread that suvivability of this article can hang is that one member later joined U.S. Bombs, which has an article (although I don't know how notable U.S. Bombs really is) and WP:MUSIC notes that notability can (not "must") be gained if "...Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable...". WP:MUSIC goes on to say that in this case "...it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such...", but I'm not sure if a redirect is usable here since another member joined a different group (Firecracker 500) which I think has an album or albums and may also be notable.

• Neutral as nominator.
• weak keep eh... I found plenty of websites related to them, but not any of what you would call "non-trivial publications". They seem to be more than your typical garage band AdamBiswanger1 14:24, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Medium Delete Un-noteable band, only one record and no mentions (that I could find from google, dogpile, or yahoo) from major publications or main-stream music media. --Bschott 17:46, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. You're right, Herostratus, it barely meets one and only one of the twelve possible criteria listed in WP:BAND. Guess I'll be an inclusionist this time and say it doesn't hurt to keep it. --Satori Son 18:36, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• delete nonnotable band.... Spearhead 21:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep per others, they have an All Music entry and appeared on various compilations. Punkmorten 22:26, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Anybody who can write an envelope and post a CD can get a listing at All Music Guide. A compilation with other similarly non-notable bands doesn't make a band notable, not even 3 compilations. --Richhoncho 23:38, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
• As original speedy tagger, delete totally non-notable band. Opabinia regalis 00:48, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep based on having one member to go on to U.S. Bombs, being part of the original hardcore punk California scene, and being featured on a few compilations with other notable bands such as Bad Religion, Minutemen, Black Flag, The Circle Jerks, and The Adolescents. --Joelmills 03:46, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Active since late 1970s (not only 2000s as AMG suggests), particularly in the early 1980s with two album releases and a 7" (one available here). Apparently an important part of the LA/California hardcore punk scene during the early 1980s, when it was emerging, evinced by inclusion in compilations such as this. --bainer (talk) 03:21, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff talk 14:08, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
