Band fails WP:MUSIC, with no evidence of notability beyond an appearance in Guitar Hero II. fuzzy510 19:47, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Notable because of release in a popular videogame. - Cyborg Ninja 20:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

 * delete - no independent sources, no verifiability. Regarding having a song used in a video game - notability is not transient. Is there something they've done, at all, other than having a song used in a video game? AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 22:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment For more information on notability from video games, look at the first nomination for this article's deletion. - Cyborg Ninja 23:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * And for further information, check the AfD for Drist, another band in the game. In addition, there wasn't a keep consensus at all - the AfD was closed for there being no consensus, which obviously defaults to keep.  --fuzzy510 05:20, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I would say that Drist is considerably more notable than the Acro-brats, as Drist's guitarist actually recorded most of the covers for the GH games. That's not my rationale for wanting deletion of the Acro-brats article (I would urge deletion either way), just a note that Drist (or at least their guitarist), along with having songs in both titles, was actually instrumental (no pun intended, I swear) in the creation of the games. -- Kicking222 13:51, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Just having two songs in (albeit extremely popular, fun) videogames and lacking all other notability does not make a band worthy of a WP article. -- Kicking222 13:51, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Two albums available in retail stores, online, on iTunes, etc. Website shows extensive northeast touring history and national and international reviews/interviews.  Top myspace ranking for garage rock bands in their area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.236.94.234 (talk • contribs)
