There's 4 of the qualifications right away. And there are more, but no specific sources (Margot's reputation as an Indianapolis band for example). Indyanapolis (talk) 18:45, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Performed on Late Night With Conan O'Brien in 2008
 * Song "Hello Vagina" was featured on The CW's One Tree Hill
 * A good review in PopMatters, plus all the other print writeups per Indyanapolis? A good firm Keep, even with their grammar-taunting ways. Earflaps (talk) 16:16, 28 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Some of the coverage given is a bit thin, but the PopMatters and Hybrid articles more than raise the curve in my mind. Likewise the 2 releases on Epic are different versions of the same album, but I still think that meets the spirit of BAND. Throw in the Heatseekers charting (which is one of Billboards numerous charts these days) and top off with appearing on Conan, and notability is well established in my mind. The sources listed above should also be inserted into the article, either as external links, or inline cites supporting the content, as the refs in the article now are sparse.
