Closer's notes
As there was no clear consensus about Deric Williams, which was added into the nomination later on a different basis than the primary nomination, I have listed that page for deletion separately, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deric Williams.
As to the primary nomination, although a numerical majority of editors were in favour of deletion, the argument put foward was that the article did not satisfy the criteria at WP:MUSIC. Other editors rebutted that argument, by citing sources showing the article did indeed satisfy the criteria. As such, there is no basis for deletion. This is a deletion debate, not a vote.

Delete per WP:MUSIC and WP:VAIN. Royboy crashfan 02:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating Deric Williams, member of this band, as being also non-notable by the standards of WP:BIOFnarf999 02:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also delete for same reason. Royboy crashfan 02:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, barely meets WP:MUSIC with their album Crush charting on the CMJ Radio 200. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 03:18, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nn band. --Terence Ong 08:44, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, I don't think it meets WP:MUSIC, single album, indie label, no national music chart appearances -- Samir ∙ T C 09:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- When did CMJ stop being a national music chart? --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 11:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think WP:MUSIC says a single from the album. -- Samir ∙ T C 20:43, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - With these jokesters I would like to see some confirmation that Crush really charted at CMJ.Fnarf999 22:05, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - WP:MUSIC says "Has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country[1]." --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 23:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      - Agreed. I interpreted "hit" as a single, probably mistakenly. Do you have the reference of Crush on CMJ? -- Samir ∙ T C 00:19, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        It's on the Amazon entry. I can't find any CMJ chart archives, though.

Delete One hit on an airplay top 200 does not equate to "a charted hit on any national music chart" imho. --kingboyk 02:52, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- So why have the guideline? --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 05:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Wikipedia is not for listing albums made in your parent's garage. -- Oarias 04:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- I find this charting claim suspicious at best. Oarias 04:02, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment -- I dunno, it's possible - to pop up for a single week on the CMJ 200 means probably three radio stations with a total of a hundred listeners played it. Fnarf999 04:25, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
