 * Keep, using an amazing search tool called google pulled up these non-trivial mentions,, , , thus they pass WP:MUSIC. 13 of their albums have been released on Metal Mind Productions, , so they pass WP:MUSIC as well. Oh, and they've toured .   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 03:55, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Those all look pretty trivial. The first says (in its last sentence) that the band's album is almost impossible to find. The others merely reprint the text from the band's own Myspace page. Oh, and listing the same references twice (2 is the same as 4; 3 is the same as 5) does not exactly prove notability.

 * They were used more than once because the info contained in it was relevant to more than one of the criteria of WP:Music. That aside, they only need to meet one of the criteria, and they easily do that with the album releases.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 11:08, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. Here's an article in Gazeta Wyborcza, a newspaper of equivalent standing to The New York Times or The Times, that starts with the words "Legends of Polish punk rock, Armia, are celebrating their 20th birthday." If that newspaper thinks they are legends, and notable enough to mark their bithday with an article then who are we to argue? Also they have had albums released on Tonpress and Pronit, both labels that operated in communist times when minor labels didn't exist. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: having charted on a national music chart they meet WP:MUSIC. --JD554 (talk) 13:52, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - but there also seems to be a Russian band of that name. Str1977 (talk) 21:03, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
