Does not pass WP:BAND. Also too soon.  "Hey there!  How's it goin'?"  04:31, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirect: to Mikey Way until subject gains nobility. Teddy2Gloves (talk) (contribs)  04:44, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect and I planned to take actions about this when I encountered it at NPP, as there are simply no convincing signs of independent notability. SwisterTwister   talk  04:53, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete One member is individually notable, while the others are not. Electric Century (EP) should also be deleted as it has not charted and is not notable. If it had any coverage, it could have saved the band article as well. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:21, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge to the Mikey Way article per AfD2. Why wouldn't we? --Michig (talk) 07:17, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The Electric Century article is already merged to Mikey Way per AfD2. Another merge is unnecessary.  "Hey there!  How's it goin'?"  07:40, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but that would make a redirect appropriate rather than deletion. --Michig (talk) 17:22, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment: Might want to wait now, the band just announced their full album in this weeks kerrang. Might gain some coverage for it.  Teddy2Gloves (talk) (contribs)  02:16, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Not sure if "some coverage" could get them to pass WP:BAND. The album comes free with the magazine, probably not going to chart in that case. It looks like Fuse and Alternative Press have already covered it, but know that notability isn't temporary.  "Hey there!  How's it goin'?"  02:28, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: Per AFD 1, and recent change in nobillity, with multiple sites covering them this past week. Teddy2Gloves (talk) (contribs)  17:04, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The only articles I notice that follow WP:BAND #1 criteria are the Fuse and AP articles. unlike the MTV interview they did a while back, they really didn't change much in notability. Their debut album hasn't even been released nor has it gotten the band any success, as the same with their debut EP.  "Hey there!  How's it goin'?"  21:48, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
