Article on a defunct band with no independent sources cited, flagged as such for a year now. Guy (Help!) 09:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. the band being defunct is not a reason for deletion, and neither is a lack of sources in the article. Following WP:BEFORE might have found an Allmusic bio, two Allmusic reviews ( and ), and further coverage from punknews.org, The Michigan Times, and Exclaim!.--Michig (talk) 13:18, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Any non-trivial reliable independent sources to add to those? User edited plus a couple of gig reports does not make for a decently sourced article about any subject, band or otherwise. Guy (Help!) 17:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Which of these is user-edited? Allmusic, Exclaim! and The Michigan Times certainly are not, and they're all reliable sources.--Michig (talk) 17:39, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it's only fair to point out that The Michigan Times is a student newspaper, so may be considered unsuitable as a reliable source.--Michig (talk) 17:45, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Two further reviews from Exclaim!, which certainly is a reliable source: and, and one from Skratch Magazine, which may also be a valid RS: .--Michig (talk) 18:03, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
