Fails WP:BAND; all sources are self-published or passing/promotional references. Charting on specialist charts doesn't qualify. Rodhullandemu 23:19, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum I'd forgotten about the previous AfD but in respect of that, my opinion hasn't changed. That discussion hinged on general notability as evidenced by newspapers reports (arguably promotional in nature and probably based on press releases rather than actual journalistic research an analysis). That isn't good enough; WP:BAND is the touchstone for musical acts, and this band just don't cut it on any of the criteria listed there. Rodhullandemu 23:28, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom, unless someone else can find any greater evidence of notability than what the page offers. (Google doesn't help much.) — e. ripley\^talk 02:34, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep no real evidence coverage supplied is not good enough for general notability. If you're notable by wp:n, you're notable, no need to look at secondary guides. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:09, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

• Delete appears not to pass WP:BAND. One and only release is a non-charting MP3-only album. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:35, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - GNG is a catchall for satisfying WP:N, which is the criteria that matters. All of that aside, which reliable sources indicates the GNG criteria? Shadowjams (talk) 09:13, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
