Keep. NN by what standard? I see this group as meeting Criteria #5 (Multiple Releases on Myrrh/Word Records). In their time they were covered by HM Magazine and the like, though those exact references have been lost to me now. Dan, the CowMan 00:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Clearly meet #5 (Multiple release on major label) While not explict criteria on notablility (Criteria are guidelines only anyway) I think the info on some of there covers with original artist and international availablity (I purchased their CD's here in Australia) must be somewhat noteable. - Waza 03:59, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep, per Dan the Cow Man. One of the most popular bands in the history of Christian punk; and they were signed to Myrrh Records, which has had several very well-known Christian artists, including Petra and Amy Grant. OBP's article also said that Johnny Cash himself appeared in one of their songs, which is available on the I Scream Sunday album, iTunes, and several other OBP releases. For what it's worth, OBP was also one of the bands that the anti-Christian rock movement (active mainly in the 80s and 90s) focused on the most; Dial-the-Truth gives them their own paragraph in their widely distributed "Christian Rock: Blessing or Blasphemy?" tract. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 00:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have little interest in and pay even less attention to Christian music and even I've heard of them - notable among other things for their collaboration with Johnny Cash. Dragomiloff 02:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. as per the criteria cited above. CDaniel 15:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Very Notable, Phil Keaggy, Johny Cash and Larry Norman have been guest members, they have released 7 albums, why this band is even considered debatable is beyond me.--E tac 04:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. -MrFizyx 00:00, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
