 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable band. Ridernyc (talk) 15:32, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Fits WP:BAND #1 (reviewed in ReGen magazine, Frederick News-Post), #5 (has released multiple albums on an important indie label), and #8 (nominated for the 2009 MTV Music Video Award for Best Break Out artist by MTV). The article author just needs to learn how to do . Ian.thomson (talk) 15:46, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I agree with Mr. Thomson's logic above. The article really needs clean-up and wikifying, rather than an AfD. D OOMSDAYER 520  (Talk|Contribs) 16:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Please Keep - I have cleaned up my titles and some of the content and have included inline references to legitimate sources. I am new to Wikipedia and have scoured the reqs so please let me know specifics if additional cleanup is needed. thank you for your time.

 * Keep At least they've released stuff, toured and got refs, unlike some of the bands that try to get articles (one I recall was a fourpiece, or would have been if they'd managed to get a fourth person - probably didn't last much longer than the article did...) I have trouble with inline refs still, so well done. Peridon (talk) 19:09, 27 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete I like their music but they don't quite meet the requirements of WP:BAND. Regen is not a publication - just some website. Radio-Active-Music is not "one of the more important indie labels". And as for being nominated for "MTV VMA Best Breakout Artist Award" - this is not even a national award, but one that is selected in 8 local markets. As such it is hardly a "major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award". Dlabtot (talk) 19:17, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment agree with above please read what the MTV breakout award is before you make up your mind. They basically came in third in a local battle of the bands, it was sponsored by Mtv but it really is little more then a local contest. Ridernyc (talk) 21:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment ReGen is published (electronically), it just isn't printed. The guidelines do not specify that it must be print. Ian.thomson (talk) 13:33, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is a self-published website. The fact that the website operator calls it a 'magazine' is irrelevant. Dlabtot (talk) 15:38, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * But it isn't a some dude putting out a site for himself, it has a staff, the dude that started the site (Nick Garland) isn't the editor (Ilker Yücel), and there are multiple writers under that editor. Not exactly self-published.  Ian.thomson (talk) 18:46, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Just enough coverage of them around, and the NME site (via YouTube) has two live tracks and an interview from the MTV Video Music Awards, what look like trailers for the main show. Not a clear-cut case, but I see no real reason to delete.--Michig (talk) 18:00, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
