 * Delete. I've been in bands.  I've never written about any of them.  Oh, well...we persist. - Lucky 6.9 16:44, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Bold textKeepBold textThey are legit. I think that they had a popular contemporary christian song back in the 80's. [User:Big Check1]

 * Keep. I am familiar with JMR.  They had a minor hit back about 15-20 years ago in CCM.  Recommend a cleanup.

 * Please judge the article on its content and not the anon votes. If any of them is still around. Could you please read WP:MUSIC and provide some evidence this band clears any of the criteria for inclusion? - Mgm|(talk) 17:51, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * If you are referring to my vote, I clearly did so by considering the band non-notable. Martg76 15:41, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Either delete or cleanup, but definitely not keep as is. --Quintin3265 17:53, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable band vanity. See also Votes for deletion/JMR -- "Jesus Mighty Rock" above. Fernando Rizo T/C 19:04, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

This is actually funny. I just received an email to check this out. I am the founder of JMR Band. We ARE a real band. We have been playing a long time. We have played with some notable groups, but WE have never had a national hit record. Of course, that has never been our purpose. We have always been and always will be an indie group. We received some significant regional radio airplay on one of our songs, but that's about it. I hope this clears up the matter. [Joe / jmrband@hotmail.com]
 * Comment. Not to be snide, but I think that's essentially an admission of non-notability. Nothing that meets the bar set by WP:MUSIC. Fernando Rizo T/C 19:54, 24 August 2005 (UTC)


 * The moment I see sockpuppets I type Delete. --PhilipO 20:10, August 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete (changed from reserved), despite my clean up only one editor has further edited - adding two external urls, delete. I have done a bit of clean up on this, but undecided, and I usually sock puppets where it hurts them. Alf 20:59, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment Joe mentions that they've "played with some notable groups" - was any touring as a support act involved? WP:MUSIC specifically mentions national and international tours as possible criteria for notability. The same source also mentions released two or more albums on a major label or important indie label (nothing about those albums being hits). Do any of these apply?

 * Delete also duplicate at JMR_--_%22Jesus_Mighty_Rock%22; unless the "We have played with some notable groups" issue is resolved iaw WP:MUSIC guidelines, then combine these two and expand. Peter Ellis 00:34, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
