This band has members from more well-known bands, but in itself the broken-up band does not seem to have meritorious releases. Multiple cleanup tags since 2012. Geschichte (talk) 15:12, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, because having members from more well-known bands -is- point 5 of WP:BAND. And it's the subject of an encyclopedia written by Mark_Allan_Powell who appears notable. - ChrisWar666 (talk) 23:28, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Passes criteria #5 of WP:BAND. More significantly, a published encyclopedia has its own entry on the group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia first and foremost, and if another encyclopedia has an entry on a topic (even a specialized encyclopedia) wikipedia should automatically cover it.4meter4 (talk) 03:27, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as exercising AGF, as well as the encyclopedia reference in the article there is also an offline reference to a detailed biography in Music Might which is a reliable web magazine source, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:05, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
