Righteous Jams

Non-notable band that fails WP:NBAND. I can't locate any evidence of charting anywhere, major tours or significant third party coverage. So non-notable that Allmusic didn't even do the obligatory one paragraph blurb about them. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:03, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I found a punknews.org profile here which provides some news stories relevant to the band members but the best ones are at the bottom, the earliest (June-September 2006). While searching Google News with one of their albums, Rage of Discipline, I found two reviews here and here. A different search provided event listings which are mostly 2005 and 2006 and a different search provided a German link here for an event. I also found an interview here which mentions the band's former name Invasion. A search with Righteous Jams adding "Joey Cardona" and "Jesse Standhard" provided nothing but a search with "JC" (an alias of Cardona's) provided an event listing. A search with Elgin James provided a news article related to his arrest. One of the possible reasons for their inactivity may have been Elgin's arrest and a 2007 death at one of their concerts, although it seems they were fairly known in the beginning. Billboard shows no evidence of charting but this was probably because they never achieved significant fame. SwisterTwister talk 21:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Elgin is reaonably notable on his own......just not seeing it for this band. Niteshift36 (talk) 21:28, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete It seems that there are some reviews and coverage, but very localised. The band never came to anything much, but was 'known' for the wrong reasons. Ohconfucius ^{ping / poke} 02:29, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
