There is no such thing as "a must have a page in Wikipedia". How does the band meet WP:BAND? Either it does, or the article gets deleted soon. -- Alexf^(talk) 00:51, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought there was enough here to warrant removal of the speedy-delete tag. I see the band's show at SXSW got a mention in Billboard. I'd recommend an AfD if editors believe there is not enough here to pass the bar of WP:MUSIC. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:15, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article should not meet any criteria for AFD, this article covers a relevant group from Venezuela, and it's has been done with exact and respectful information about it. All the links are proof of the importance of their career and people should be aloud to have access to this information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.69.88 (talk) 22:28, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
