Non-notable band, see WP:MUSIC --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 14:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep Google search seems to yield numerous results showing notability. Article needs to be rewritten though for better prose and wikification. However It doesn't seem to be a notability problem from what I'm looking at. Perhaps an assertion of notability might be helpful though Wikidudeman (talk) 14:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep This group has released four albums so far if I am not mistaken. Moreover, a quick google search shows quite a number of hits for this band. It is also possible to verify the contents of this article as well. --Siva1979Talk to me 14:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
3000 hits isn't really much (atleast not in my opinion, and definitely not for a band) and with a tweaking of the search terms (+band) to remove any unrelated results the count is siginificantly lower - here. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 23:24, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Could the above two editors please provide links to the reliable sources that affirm notability? I'm lookin', but I ain't findin'. If you did, I'd like to see what you turned up before I offer an opinion. I do see some indications that they've won local music awards regularly, but whether that meets WP:MUSIC, I'm not entirely certain on. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete unless claims of WP:RS made above are actually added to the article before the end of this AfD. A1octopus 01:14, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete. I'm not seeing much assertion of notability in the article. The band's albums come from independent labels. Cap'n Walker 18:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
