PlayRadioPlay!
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The only hint of notability comes from PlayRadioPlay!'s release of an EP titled "The Frequency" on April 27, 2007 which debuted #6 on Billboard's Electronic Chart. Since then, there are "MySpace Bulletins" that state full album will be released in March 2008. There are very vague sources throughout, referring to either obscure MySpace bulletins or blog postings, and a surmised "music video" that was filmed in only one weekend.

MySpace friend and play counts are also not reliable sources.

If the album is released and is a smashing success, and there are attempts to revise the article to be something less of a MySpace advertisment, then it can stand to see this article become a little more notable.  Seicer  (talk) (contribs) 04:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Has Two verifiable Billboard album chart positions which meets criterion 2 of WP:MUSIC. And it looks like they're signed to Island Records, a major label (which meets criterion 5). If kept I suggest a total rewrite of the article so it doesn't seem like a press release, but PlayRadioPlay seems to meet WP:MUSIC by the skin of their teeth.

 * Strong Keep Signed to a subsidiary of a major label, charted on billboard. The Myspace view/play counts aren't official notability standards, but certainly count for something.-Kevinebaugh (talk) 15:45, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The MySpace information is totally irrelevant to the notability of the article, but the article is still notable per WP:MUSIC criterion 2 and 5 Doc Strange (talk) 17:07, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep See chart exposure. Poor sourcing is not an excuse for deletion. Chubbles (talk) 23:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Needs to be rewritten, cleaned up, and cited. Plenty of articles come up when searching Google to make this happen.
