Not notable. Gordonrox24 &#124; Talk 22:40, 11 August 2009 (UTC) Slovichon (talk) 19:47, 14 August 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 22:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * keep. Passes WP:BAND having 2 albums released by a major record company. The Weak Willed 13:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * keep. Although they were at one time on a major record label, they are now on a self-owned label that has a worldwide distributor. I figured since you can obtain their music via iTunes and Amazon.com, see their records at Wal-Mart, and hear more notable musicians (such as James Malone of Arsis) cite these guys as an influence, other people should be able to find out basic objective information about this band.  I tried to look at the originally deleted article to see if there was room for improvement but I could not find out how to access it, sorry.  If this really does not meet criteria for inclusion then sorry for wasting time.  Update:
 * 1) http://www.bansheerocks.com/ is their official homepage where I obtained most of the biography information, including label relationships, distribution information, and appearances on MTV as well as at festivals such as at Rocklahoma where more "prominent" artists such as George Lynch, Bret Michaels, Warrant, Anthrax, RATT, Twisted Sister, Anvil, etc. have played.
 * 2) http://www.amazon.com/Take-em-Storm-Banshee/dp/B001J2SF14/ is a link to buy a CD from Amazon.com.
 * 3) http://www.myspace.com/BansheeRocks is their garish page on MySpace.
 * 4) http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/interviews/interviews/arsis_mainman_fusing_hard_rock_and_tech_death_in_the_same_song_is_ok.html is an interview where Arsis member James Malone mentions Banshee.
 * Comment Can we see some verifiable links? When I do a quick gnews search I get nothing, and a google search brings up a few myspace band pages.-- Gordonrox24 &#124; Talk 19:43, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Only one album on a major label that I could find (using the band's own web site). Searches for reviews of their albums didn't turn up anything useful (see this, this, and this). Bongo  matic  03:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Passes WP:N, per the two albums published through major labels.  Clean it up and add more stuff if found. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 22:11, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Which two albums were published through "major labels"? What labels are you identifying as "major"? Bongo  matic  01:02, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
