This band appears to fail WP:GNG and may not quite meet enough criteria of WP:BAND. Several searches have not yielded coverage in reliable sources. Sources in the article are blogs, Myspace pages and commercial sites. Per the article, they have released albums on various record labels that appear to be of the lesser-known variety, (except for Domo Records, so the topic seems to meet criteria #5 of WP:BAND). Is this enough to demonstrate overall topic notability for a standalone article? Per WP:BAND, a topic "may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria" of WP:BAND. However, this does not guarantee topic notability, because the phrase "may be notable" is used, rather than "is notable". Northamerica1000(talk) 09:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep? I think that what's there just squeaks by. And my first guess is that there's more than what is in the article. North8000 (talk) 12:31, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. The sources in the article are not reliable, and I didn't find anything better from Google/News/Books. --Michig (talk) 15:20, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - I just don't see the coverage. The current sources do not count as significant independent RS. According to Oricon, they have not charted in Japan. The claims about iTunes and Amazon rankings are not verified. I checked Japanese sites and the best I could do is find this one interview. There's just not enough now.

 * Delete - fails WP:BAND for not gaining enough independent coverage or charting on Oricon. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 05:29, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
