Keep They are not such a "small" band. They have already released two EPs and have toured with bands such as All Time Low, A Rocket to the Moon, and Allstar Weekend. Their fanbase is large and continues to expand.

Keep This band has more than 85,000 likes on Facebook, almost 40,000 Twitter followers, and many views on their Youtube covers, including more than 4,000,000 views on their cover of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful." They have released 2 EPs, have toured with huge bands such as All Time Low, and they have worked with renowned artists like Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy and Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low on their upcoming album. They're far from a "small, un-notable band." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.67.19.74 (talk) 14:31, 12 June 2012 (UTC) — 173.67.19.74 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

A lot of small bands have had minor collaboration with notable artist; that doesn't mean that the band is notable by association. Someone could be a famous person's spouse, but if there is a deficiency of reliable sources to assert their notability, then they don't deserve an article devoted to their life. That doesn't preclude them from being included in the notable subject's article. If we could find reliable sources to support the assertion that Before You Exit has toured with All Time Low, then we could choose to include the aforementioned information on All Time Low's article.—YutsiTalk/Contributions ( 偉特 ) 13:45, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I combed through pages of Ghits and found nothing that qualified under criterion #1 of WP:BAND, although there were a couple of very brief interview bits including one in Seventeen magazine (doesn't qualify under #1 as it's the band talking about itself). I could see no other criterion that potentially applied except #5 and, to the best of my knowledge, under #5, they release their own music through iTunes. This group may become more notable in the future but there's not enough in the way of reliable sources yet. Ubelowme (talk) 19:55, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This appears to be a case of WP:TOOSOON. They appear to have self-released songs on iTunes, and do not have any significant reliable source coverage. They do have a lot of views of their videos on youtube, but unless that is reported in a reliable secondary source it isn't notable. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 14:02, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I have to second what User:ConcernedVancouverite said; I think this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. While Before You Exit appear to be gaining popularity, they're not popular enough (i.e. WP:NBAND) to warrant their own page just yet. It also bears noting that—at the time I posted my vote—the only two "keep" votes were made by accounts flagged as "single-purpose accounts". —Schaea (talk) 08:48, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
