Band is by no means notable. No sources on article. No notable members going to other projects. Reliant article like Haunts (album) should be deleted as well.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 09:43, 2 September 2012 (UTC) *Delete. I'm unable to find significant coverage for this band in reliable sources; only social networking sites (e.g., YouTube, MySpace, last.fm, Vimeo) and the record label's site. This band does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND at this time.  Gongshow  Talk 01:12, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - "cut and paste" band? Non-notable. Wandering Courier (talk) 17:17, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. The band is notable because of the coverage it has received, e.g. (Allmusic, Stereogum) and because the band's only member (Jacob Cooper/Safari) is/has been a member of two other notable bands (The Mae Shi and Wavves). Deleting because it's described as a "cut and paste" band would be ridiculous. --Michig (talk) 06:38, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you have reliable sources aside from two random album reviews that show the band is notable?— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 07:05, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there such a thing as a non-random review then? They're just reviews. The band is basically one person, who by our accepted notability criteria is notable via his membership of at least two notable bands, in addition to coverage of his other work. I would suggest that we have one article about Jacob Cooper that includes details of this project and his membership of the three other notable bands that he is in/has been in (The Mae Shi, Wavves, and Signals).--Michig (talk) 16:52, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
 * The man is not notable on his own, though. He's only notable as a member of other groups? It doesn't make this solo project notable by any means then.— Ryulong ( 琉竜 ) 19:39, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep (changed from "delete") and rename to Jacob Cooper (or Jacob Safari) as per Michig's suggestion. Cooper meets criterion 6 of WP:MUSICBIO as a member of two or more independently notable bands, and he meets criterion 1 of MUSICBIO (and WP:GNG) with the Bark Bark Bark coverage at Allmusic and Stereogum; plus there's this Exclaim! article which reports on Cooper's reaction to the Mae Shi breakup, and this LA Weekly article which discusses one of his remixes.

 * Keep Meets WP:MUSICBIO per Michig and Gongshow. — sparklism  hey! 07:01, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Michig and Gongshow, it meets WP:BAND.  TheSpecialUser TSU 00:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
