Rock N Roll Worship Circus

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Article with no independent reliable sources (jesusfreakhideout.com is not reliable) on a band that peaked at #31 on Billboard's contemporary Christian album chart, which is not exactly the Hot 100. Started by user:Jason Gastrich, which takes me back a bit. Has been used to attack a member of the band that this band changed to, leading to an OTRS complaint.

 * Keep per WP:MUSIC #2 which states "Has had a charted hit on any national music chart" which is satisfied by Billboard's contemporary Christian album chart and is verified here. -Gwguffey (talk) 15:08, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That's a guideline, where are the reliable independent secondary sources? And do you really think that a charting just once,, that low, on a chart that specific, is what people had in mind? Guy (Help!) 14:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:MUSIC simply states "any". It does not currently restrict charts. Here is a link directly from billboard, the publisher of the chart. Additionally, notability is asserted by this winning of a Dove Award by the Gospel Music Association which meets Notability (music) #8. So, the band meets two separate criteria of the guidelines that establish notability for bands. -Gwguffey (talk) 02:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep I tend to think that if a band has had their albums reviewed by something as mainstream as Allmusic.com then it's pretty much a given that they are notable enough to merit an article on wikipedia. A quick google search indicates that they have indeed been the subject of multiple non-trivial mention in independent and reliable sources such as this, this, this and various more on top of the reviews here on Allmusic. Clearly qualifies as notable per criteria 1 of WP:MUSIC. Can I also point out that I'm not a Christian and have not even heard of the band before seeing this afd? It took me less than a minute to google them up to verify their notability. Just saying. --Bardin (talk) 07:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
