No assertion of notability, article is only 2 sentences long, no sources aside from the official website. Candy-Panda 10:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• Speedy delete per nom. So tagged. MER-C 10:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. They have two albums on BEC Recordings. Since having two albums on a major label is one of the criteria in WP:MUSIC, I take that as an assertion of notability, so I've removed the speedy tag. —Celithemis 10:49, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - notable band, I've heard them often on rotation of stations around the country (automatic WP:MUSIC criterion; they're on KLOVE quite often: some other links include [1] [2]). Also have two records by major record label. And have non-trivial publications: [3] (CT is possibly the biggest Christian magazine out there) [4]. And, according to mtv.com and billboard.co.cz, they were on the top 40 billboard. They satisfy lots o' criteria. Part Deux 10:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - meet (just) the music notability criteria --Abu-Bakr69 13:48, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• This is uncommon - I'm opining keep on a little-known band article. The links above indicate that there's enough notability to work with under WP:MUSIC - I just hope someone actually writes an article to keep from the sources that are available there. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

  They're little known outside Christian circles, but well known within. Per WP:MUSIC, that's enough, if they satisfy any top 40 criteria. I've always listed several other ways that they pass WP:MUSIC. Part Deux 21:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• Keep pending independent references in article Above there some assertions that independent pubilshed references exist. However, none of those are included in the article. My keep vote is dependent on independent, published references being included in the article since right now the only reference is the band's website. Dugwiki 21:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
