The result was   no consensus, and I was actually quite close to calling this an outright "keep" since the issue of the national awards (confirmed by evidence produced by Groggy Dice) has not been adressed at all by those calling for deletion except for assertions that they are not notable.

The subject of the article seems to fail the notability criteria under WP:MUSIC. The band has released 1 album under an independent label (WP:MUSIC requires at least 2 albums on a major label or a notable independent label), there has been no non-trivial media coverage from independent and reliable sources. The article mentions that the band has charted a hit on a national music chart but a Google search didn't return any reliable sources to verify this information. There was only this blog which mentions the band charting a #1 hit on a local radio station, not on a national chart. All in all, it seems to be a band that may be known locally but, again, it fails the basic tenets of WP:N and WP:MUSIC. SWik78 (talk • contribs) 13:50, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete No proof of the charted hit. No reliable sources, and the awards aren't notable. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 13:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep The awards are not notable? The first result on a google search informs me that the "12th MACP Awards 2008 was ... telecast live by RTM1 at 8.45 pm starting with the Red Carpet and followed by the show which began at 9.00 pm." An award ceremony that is broadcast nationally on the country's oldest television network seems pretty notable to me. The award show gets coverage in the news and even on a government's website. The band easily qualifies as notable per criteria 8 of WP:MUSIC. --Bardin (talk) 05:38, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep The MACP website (page now here)confirms that they won in three categories. The difficulties finding a bigger web footprint are understandable when you consider that Malaysia is a less wired country. I also feel this AFD should have been listed earlier at Deletion sorting/Malaysia. -- Groggy Dice T | C 03:15, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Conditional keep - if "Revolution" did indeed hit #1 on the Malaysian English Top 10 music chart (a national record chart) and it can be documented with the date of its hitting #1, then it would satisfy WP:MUSIC. If evidence of such documentation cannot be obtained, then it should be deleted without prejudice toward recreation should WP:MUSIC be satisfied at a later date.
