Subject of article does not meet guidelines for notability per WP:MUSIC. Not on a major label or major indie label. No national tours. No significant press Nv8200p talk 03:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC) GobtaNIndia 07:16, 28 February 2007 (UTC)GobtaNIndia Divamanhughes 19:27, 28 February 2007
 * Weak keep. The band has been mentioned in a video game. Real96 04:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. What is a "major indie label"?  Sounds like an oxymoron to me.  Their label is an indie label that was apparently involved in buyout discussions at one point with MCA.  And "being mentioned in a video game" is even worse than releasing their albums through an "indie" label.  Anyway, failing music notability guidelines doesn't necessarily mean it should be deleted.  What it fails is verifiability, as its "sources" are all merchandising sites, MySpace, and promotional sites. —Carolfrog 08:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep The purpose of this encyclopedia is to provide free accounting of information in a formal and encyclopedic way. This group is a group and therefore deserves for their voice to be heard. To me, this article represents what wikipedia is about. Now, if they have completely made up this group, or this is a lil child group "power ranger" type thing, then that is another story. But just because they are not on a major lable or anything, does not merit their article for deletion.
 * Strong Keep Victory Records is an important and up-and-coming label. At least a few of their bands (Taking Back Sunday and Bayside) have charted on the Billboard Top 100. For more info on this band's record sales, and their national tours, see https://www.victoryrecords.com/actionaction. For significant press, go to http://www.altpress.com/ and enter "Action Action" in the search engine.

These 3 links to Alternative Press's website all document that Action Action is a national touring band: http://altpress.com/news/473.htm http://altpress.com/news/183.htm http://altpress.com/news/927.htm Divamanhughes 16:45, 2 March 2007


 * Delete unless links to non trivial and independent articles concerning this band are added before the end of this debate. A1octopus 14:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
