 * Weak Keep. They meet criterion 2 of WP:BAND as shown here, would like to see more. I'll try to find more WP:RS's and revisit. J04n(talk page) 18:14, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Changing !vote despite the fact that they were on the Billboard 200 because I can find no coverage of this band, not even a review of the album that charted. If anyone can find anything in a WP:RS I'll gladly incorporate it into the article & change my !vote (again). J04n(talk page) 16:17, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Happily changing my !vote again, thanks to the good work by Victor Silveira who rewrote and sourced the article. J04n(talk page) 22:35, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment: I think I heard something about this band recently. I think one of its members died. But I didn't find any coverage. I'll try to search for its musicians. If I find something, I'll come back. Victor Silveira (talk) 05:41, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: Well... I searched sources for almost one hour and I found some informations about the group. In fact, there are some news about the death of the first vocalist, Dean Fasano, according Whiplash.net(Portuguese) and MelodicRock.com. However, there is no news about it in any important news site. There are profiles of Prophet in some sites about Music, such as Librarius Metallicus and Music Might. I found reviews of their albums too in some sites which seems to be forums with editorial oversight (which are acceptable): Sleaze Metal (German with English translation), El portal del metal (Spanish), GloryDazeMusic and TrueMetal.it (Italian). There are also some interviews with some members of the group: with Russell Arcara (vocalist) in Rock Eyez and Liberty'n'justice, and with Ted Poley (former vocalist and drumer) in Rock Eyez and Metal-rules.com. It worths to remember the band has a profile in Allmusic, as J04n pointed before. Well... Justifying my vote... I know there are a few sources and they don't have many information about the band. However, the band passes WP:BAND#6, because it is not difficult to find sources about Poley or Arcara, which are also involved with many other notable bands. So, I think one could keep the article and improve it according these sources here and other sources about the members of the group. Thank you! Victor Silveira (talk) 07:12, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * keep it seems to fulfill 2 and 6 as others have stated Aisha9152 (talk) 21:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I edited the article and added the sources above to it. I didn't add two of them, because I didn't find any relevant information to the article. Victor Silveira (talk) 14:09, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Victor.--Epeefleche (talk) 15:11, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
