  • Improve. It's worthy of inclusion, but it lacks in content. If someone can add more noteworthy information, than I'm fine with it being on there. If not, Delete. Human historian 06:00, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak delete Nothing of note, per nom. Akihabara 15:45, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete. The best this band has going for them, notability wise, is that they apparently have the former drummer from Good Charlotte... but once you dig a little deeper, you find out that this drummer left Good Charlotte just before they made it big (he's like the Fifth Beatle of crappy emo/psuedo-punk bands!) In the article's defense: The band does appear to have been on a major label and released two albums, satisfying some of WP:MUSIC. However, no sources or even an attempt to describe these albums as successful. -- Antepenultimate 23:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and improve. Notable per involvement of Aaron Escolopio. Mus Musculus 16:27, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

  • Week keep I'm leaning toward keep because I thought a band becomes notable after it cuts a record, of which this band has done twice. I think a cleanup tag and a CT desk assignment is more proper than deleting it. Am I way off course here?--Clyde Miller 05:10, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep (conditional) - They are notable to some extent (see external link). I place merger templates on the related articles and added info to the talk page that may help move this article along. If the article is not moved forward in a reasonable amount of time and is place up for AfD again, consider my position a delete.-- Jreferee 19:44, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep The article states that they released two albums on Arista and Jive Records, both of which are quite notable labels. As such, they meet Criterion 5 of WP:BAND. —ShadowHalo 21:59, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, meets WP:MUSIC. --badlydrawnjeff talk 14:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
  • keep please releasing albums with arista and jive records is obvious notability under our music guideline Yuckfoo 02:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, passes WP:MUSIC and seems notable enough. --Wizardman 18:02, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
