I'm bringing this to AfD because this article has been speedied and recreated several times. This band claims a charted hit, but has no third-party coverage. No opinion. Sandstein 18:50, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - After a quick google search, i found articles at Last.fm and Yahoo! Music which i added to the external links. They seem like a notable band. dposse 18:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• delete unless wikipedia wants to become the repository for every band ever created who were known for nothing.Droliver 19:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, have an album from Roadrunner Records, a major record label. Also, they have pages on Last.fm, Allmusic, and Yahoo! Music. Chart positions linked below from Bwithh's comment makes it pass WP:MUSIC. Notable enough for me. --WillMak050389 20:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Inclusion in AllMusic and Last.fm databases are not reliable indicators of a band's notability (low barriers to entry into their databases). Not sure about reliability of Yahoo! Music. Bwithh 21:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry about that, I did not know the notability on AllMusic and Last.fm, I have edited my vote. --WillMak050389 21:51, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Passes WP:MUSIC based on confirmed album chart position via Billboard.com[1] Bwithh 21:21, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per MUSIC, not per allmusic (almost the lowest bar possible) but becuase of Billboard listing. SkierRMH 22:20, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I have seen commercials on TV for this band (coupled with a couple other Road Runner bands), promoting their album within the first few weeks of release. They're a credible enough band. There are worse on here than them.TZRedGiant 02:46, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
