I declined the speedy deletion nomination, but I'm not convinced the band is truly notable. So bringing it here for further evaluation. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:48, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - needs work, but they are signed to Fearless Records which seems to be major enough. Dincher (talk)
Delete - I'm actually the speedy deletion nominator. My bad. But, regardless of the fact that I absolutely LOVE this band, I do not believe they meet notability. They don't even have a full length album, and their EP did not chart on any charts of any kind. And Dincher, I'm afraid being signed to a record label does not make a band notable. Please see the notability guidelines.Krazycev 13 18:16, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - they lean towards notable with the record label and touring, but I can't find references that really get into the band as much as I'd like, and just having one EP suggests this is early. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:37, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Being signed to a label is insufficient. They may become notable in the future, but not now. --- Whpq (talk) 15:21, 15 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I put this in again because the page was recreated, the author requested deletion in good faith, but the speedy deletion was declined again. People are not listening.--Krazycev 13 20:26, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
