Delete per the norm regarding notability. Kntrabssi 01:03, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete with no prejudice to recreation if the upcoming major lable album gets them past the guidelines at WP:BAND.  young  american  (ahoy hoy) 01:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We have no way of knowing if the band's upcoming album with Columbia Records will be successful or not.-- TBC Φ  talk?  01:23, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article has references which establish notability, and the band is touring nationally. See http://www.mosesmayfield.com/schedule.html --Eastmain 01:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree with those noted as objecting to the application of inclusion criteria 3 of WP:BAND. This looks like a relatively small club tour. I still say its better to delete for now.  young  american  (ahoy hoy) 02:02, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Not notable, WP:BAND Nenyedi Nenyedi Contribs@ 13:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete with prejudice against re-creation until they pass WP:BAND, which at the moment this band doesn't. Moreschi Request a recording? 13:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete- not notable...-- Cometstyles 15:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. WP:BAND says that the central criterion is that the band "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable." The references sem to indicate that the band meets the criterion. Having only one full-length album is not a reason to exclude a band if it passes on other criteria, such as the multiple independent reliable non-trivial published works and the national tour. I would encourage people who consider that the band fails WP:BAND to carefully re-read WP:BAND which states, as do most other Wikipedia notability guidelines, that passing a single criterion is enough to establish notability, even if other criteria are not met. --Eastmain 02:41, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
