I deleted this under category a7, and another editor asked me to restore it based on a fairly large Ghit count. However, the article positively asserts the band's "lack of fame", and cites no reliable sources. I found a few independent sources on Google but I am not sure that any of them are reliable.

 * Delete The article does assert the band's "lack of fame." Fails WP:BAND and also lacks sources.  janejellyroll 05:51, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - still a speedy candidate. So tagged. MER-C 13:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable, fails WP:BAND. -- Kesh 03:20, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Though not a criteria they are on a very famous metal record label, Metal Blade Records/Black Market Activities. They have done several nationwide tours and one [recently. They have also had quite a few third party reviews, , , ,. Notable enough for me. maybe not the biggest band in the world but big enough. I also cleaned up the article a little.--[[User:Tainter|Tainter]] 22:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. Being signed by Black Market Activities seems to just meet criteria 4 of WP:BAND. Combined with the reviews pointed out by Tainter I think this one crosses the notability threshhold. WjBscribe 05:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per the work done by Tainter --Eastmain 07:15, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, weirdly enough I've heard of this band! Not a reason for keeping... but is unusual indeed when I see a band on AfD that I've heard of. Anyway... keep for the other reasons mentioned here. Mathmo Talk 07:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tainter. Meets WP:WEB. 64.178.96.168 17:10, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, This band is currently signed to Metal Blade Records, a very big label. And their guitarist alone has a list of notable credientials. Christopher Arp writes a monthly column called "Dr. Opus PhD" in the national publication Decibel magazine, he is a fully endorsed guitarist by Ibanez guitars, and he also plays guitar for Hank Williams the III. Chris Arp's links alone to these noteables is a strong connection to the publics interest.

Psyopus has also toured the fully spectrum of the States with such other noteable acts as Cannibal Corpse, The Red Chord, Dying Fetus, Hank Williams the III, Job For a Cowboy, Cephalic Carnage, A Life Once Lost, and Heavy Heavy Low Low.

Also, their Metal Blade release was in late Feb 2007. This was after the initially proposed deletion in Jan 2007. Since then there are so many reviews for this band and so many interviews in any language imaginable, it would be an inaccurate descision to assume that this band is being missed by the radar. Just search them on the internet or check out their myspace page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.169.144.108 (talk) 08:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
