I'm nominating this article for deletion, as I'm not sure it satisfies WP:N. It seems to be a local-area band with no notability outside Wisconsin; they have played a local festival, got a bit of local press, and were involved in Emergenza (a pay-for-play "battle of the bands" competition). The article also reads like a bio (i.e., spam). A prod was placed on the article, and was contested by a regular editor, Chubbles1212. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 14:09, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Possible keep. This band may actually scrape through by criterion #9 at WP:BAND, although independent source material is required. See comments below. Adrian M. H. 14:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adrian - Emergenza is a pay-to-play contest. I know, they've solicited me, and I've had to send them angry letters to make them stop sending me spam. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 14:56, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, then this band does not make the cut, based on the available information. It meets no other criteria. Delete Adrian M. H. 15:11, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete with no evidence presented of passing WP:BAND. I would accept an Emergenza win as provisional notability, but not a Milwaukee win feeding into a Detroit regional semi-final that they lost. --Dhartung | Talk 17:35, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. As noted above, does not appear to pass WP:BAND. -- MarcoTolo 20:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
