 * Delete Even the source for the band's breakup fails WP:RS. —ShadowHalo 21:49, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep On the grounds that Django Haskins (The Old Ceremony) and Robert Sledge (Ben Folds Five) are current/former members of notable bands. Old Ceremony and Ben Folds Five pass WP:BAND in a much more clearly notable fashion than International Orange (band) does (Old Ceremony has multiple feature articles in print newspapers).  Someone should remove silly blog quote from Haskins if this article passes AfD. Darkspots 13:20, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - Darkspots makes an excellent point based on WP:MUSIC, but I think this article demonstrates a weakness in that particular guideline. At best, Django Haskins and Robert Sledge's articles should mention that they were briefly members of this short-lived indy band.--Kubigula (talk) 05:13, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought about a redirect to Django Haskins, given the slightness of the project, but Sledge was in International Orange, too. It's a Weak Keep, I suppose--I don't entirely endorse your solution, given the wording of the guideline, but that's about it. Darkspots 20:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
