 * Keep. I think it's funny when deletionists say things like "this fails WP:MUSIC" when you can see in the article itself that the editor has knowingly stuck with the guidelines. Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media and Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show.

 * Delete - With just a few google hits, almost all of which seem self-promotional (and the rest centered around their home town), this band appears to be not notable. The only refs I could find to their music being on the sopranos were from one essay on the band, present at a few different sites.  Even if they did have a song on that show once, it hardly is the same as being a theme song.  --Joelmills 01:54, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - A theme is only ONE example, it is not listed as the only criteria. "A few google hits?" 82,300 for "stormdrain." 16,200 for "stormdrain" + "music". 9,550 for "stormdrain" + "band." PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 18:44, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment 40 unique google hits for "stormdrain" + "Scott Reyns", who is described as the leader and creator of the band.  --Joelmills 21:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment And Scott Reyns gets 400+ hits. It's more than a few hundred, which is really all you need. PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 21:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet WP:MUSIC all the citations are either unsourced or trivial. Eluchil404 06:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment This is very frustrating. Clearly, from the Google hits and press kit, this band is a notable presence. However, I'm having a hard time verifying the quotes from the press kit that would constitute notable press coverage, and you're absolutely right about the lack of resources pertaining to their television appearences. Any suggestions on digging up something that might help this article remain? PT  ( s-s-s-s ) 21:32, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment If the claims cannot be verified then it will be hard for this article to remain. doktorb wordsdeeds 12:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Fails WP:MUSIC for no evidence of major tours, charted hits.  The one print mention the group has is literally a mention.  I don't believe Google is the final arbiter of notability, but at the point we're arguing whether 400 hits is better than 40, um, like, oh well.  Tychocat 18:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
