[edit] The Devil Makes Three (band)

Doesn't meet the notability requirements of WP:MUSIC. I figured it wasn't quite up to speedying because it claims that it has put out two full-length albums, but a few minutes of research provide no evidence that they are produced by major labels or any notable independent label. —Cleared as filed. 03:29, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Keep. They have lots of news coverage, like here, here and here. They won a local GoodTimes Best of 2005 award for Best Band. They are quite genre defining and unique. The article should stay. JoeSmack ^Talk 07:44, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per media coverage. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 14:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I've heard of them myself, and I don't live in the music biz. Notable enough for me... Georgewilliamherbert 01:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep well i'm sitting here in a coffee shop in the heart of VT hearing them for the first time--i had to ask who they were. apparently they're notable enough for me which lead me here to find you worrying if they are notable enough for you rather than questioning why you don't have more information about them!! kind of ironic a site which has bypassed the traditional publishing mechanisms is using the same to choose to limit what they allow! no doubt the major labels appreciate your support! as online self publishing grows i guess you'll choose to ignore those who choose that far more enlightened route.
• Keep per the above.
