The result was by a pure vote count, this is probably a "no consensus", but since the band appears to fairly solidly meet our notability requirements, I'm going to call it a KEEP. - Philippe 20:03, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable stub about a band/organization. Yamakiri ^T_C § 06-30-2008 • 20:50:47

The band meets Criteria 1 and 6 on the Notability for bands page; their music was independently published in GTAIV, and they have members that were once part of notable bands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hobo with a Shogtun (talk • contribs) 20:52, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep They have a review[1] in the Chicago Reader, and I found a small article about one of the band's members in Spin Magazine [2]. The GTA thing is also a decent reference. That said, the album is "self released" and while Chicago Reader has 100k+ readers, it's still a local publication about a local band. I'm erring on the side of keep for now, but I may change that after hearing a bit more from people more experienced in WP:Music than I.Vickser (talk) 00:32, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete I am concerned about the band's notability. However, the mention of the music in GTA4 might make theme somewhat notable.  Marlith (Talk)  04:04, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep mentioned in GTA4 + local publication meets notability requirements...but just barely. — BQZip01 — ^talk 06:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Solid Keep this meets notability via GTA 4 combined with local newspaper and the band members themselves indivudally seem to have notability as well that when combined as a band and added to GTA 4, and the Reader means we should keep this article. Beam 19:59, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
