Quickflight

Fails WP:BAND. No notable songs or albums, of the three albums, only one was released on a notable record label. No notable members (The only blue link member is at AFD). Sources confirm albums were released, but there's only one rs review. Lara 22:23, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I see two albums there, suggesting compliance with WP:BAND criterion #5. The fact that Tunesmith Records doesn't seem to exist anymore doesn't mean it wasn't notable in its day (before the World Wide Web). Not sure about this one. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:53, 3 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Two albums meets WP:BAND #5. The online coverage in eg CCM Magazine:  and NME:  just about scrapes WP:BAND #1 (especially given that these are 28 year-old plus releases that are only being considered retrospectively) . RichardOSmith (talk) 23:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The release of two albums only meets BAND if they're on a major label or one of the more notable indie labels. They have three records, only one of them from a major label. Thus, it fails that criteria. Lara  02:56, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Quickflight meets WP:BAND #5.  The non-existance of a wikipedia article does not mean the label is not notable.  Other artists on the Tunesmith Records label, , .  I didn't look all that hard for Tunesmith; let me know if I have to.  Per RichardOSmith it's hard going back almost 30 years.  I did not do a search in any off-line sources.

 * Keep. In addition to the sources above, the band is covered in the books What about Christian rock?, and Raised by wolves: the story of Christian rock & roll.--Michig (talk) 10:24, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
