I feel that this article is purely self-promotional and irrelevent knowledge. 202.122.69.82 12:30, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Notability established. Keep. DS 14:24, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Established how? I'm a big booster for the Michigan music scene, but unless I'm totally missing something, I don't see anything here that meets WP:MUSIC. Sadly, I have to go Delete for now.--Isotope23 15:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Grand Prize in the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and being a semifinalist in the MtvU thing? I think those are notable. DS 16:18, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Those are great accomplishments, but they still fall short of WP:MUSIC unless you consider the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Contest to be a major award on the level of a Juno or Grammy. It appears to be more of a scholarship than a major award though.--Isotope23 16:38, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • You could argue that Tally Hall has gained cult status from the "Banana Man" music video on Albino Black Sheep. --GoodEvilMan 20:10, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Fails WP:MUSIC maybe later when they get more notable --JAranda | yeah 01:05, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

/* Tally Hall */ The Lennon award is a grammy for young songwriters, they have an unprecedented underground following (6 in wikipedia guidlines), and banana man is an internet phenomenom. keep it.

• • You'll be pretty hard pressed to prove that the Lennon award is anywhere close to a grammy in importance. As for your other contention, can you provide any evidence to back up you claim that Tally Hall satisfies WP:MUSIC #6?--Isotope23 20:43, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete not yet notable enough. Dottore So 06:59, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. They're just 3 weeks away from putting out an album that will surely bring their notoriety up to Wiki guidelines. Put the discussion on hold for 2 months, I say.

DELETE. Realistically, the chances that their new album will give them enough notability to meet the wikipedia guidelines are slim to none. There are literally thousands of such bands out there who put out albums and fail to get noticed, why would these guys be any different? Certainly there is a chance that they could become big, but that chance is infinitly small and thus I see no is no reason for tableing the debate. Its like saying: "I'm going to hold off on planning my retirement until after I've won the lottery." Certainly I have a chance of winning the lottery, but that chance is so small that it dosen't make rational sense to take such a possiblity into consideration.
