Contested Prod, non-notable band. Ridernyc (talk) 17:26, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions.  —  Gongshow  Talk 18:04, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete A7/band with no notability asserted. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  18:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Spin magazine found them notable enough to write about them. And about 150 views per month show that people are referring to the article for info on a regular basis. Kindofdavish (talk) 19:09, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * One small article on Spin.com falls a bit short for notability. Ridernyc (talk) 21:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: I can't find anything with significant coverage besides Spin, but one source isn't enough. Joe Chill (talk) 21:21, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Changed to Keep: Per Gongshow's links except for the Allmusic bio. Joe Chill (talk) 20:18, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment If this article is deleted album artiles would also be included under CSD A9. Ridernyc (talk) 21:25, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. I believe there's enough coverage out there for this to meet WP:GNG and WP:BAND. In addition to the aforementioned Spin profile, there's an Allmusic bio (along with reviews of two of their releases -- ), and another album review at PopMatters. I'll incorporate these into the article shortly. I've expanded the article with these sources.  Gongshow  Talk 23:24, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very easily passess both general and subject-specific notability guidelines due to multiple significant coverage in reliable sources. The article already cited the allmusic bio (with 2 reviews on the same site a couple of clicks away) and SPIN article at the time of nomination, so the AFD is itself a little puzzling and the speedy delete !vote above is utterly mystifying.--Michig (talk) 18:49, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Hear, hear. Drmies (talk) 18:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Another lazy nomination, proposer clearly does not understand that most articles need expansion rather than deletion. Reliable sources exist which proove notability. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 18:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep.  Per Gong's good work.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:18, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Michig's sensible comments. Drmies (talk) 18:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
