 * "The Amino Acids perform most often for independent purposes. Being from an alien planet their motives are unknown to humans. A human writing a bio on them is rather counterproductive because only they know the truth."
 * "They are unique in the aspect that they never speak, to anyone."
 * "Humanity will fall like pins recorded 30 November 2006. It is published by Aminoacidsmusic 2007 and features twenty-one songs."(italics mine)
 * "We Are Alien? released 2001 6 Song EP very rare to find. "

 * Delete. I don't see coverage that would indicate notability. Even if this is kept, broad swathes of the article will need to be removed - as the nominator correctly notes, this is quite promotional. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 15:15, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Neutral. Local Detroit punk-surf band, active 1998-2010. Yes, article as it stands is too fan-centric, but that's fixable. The only real AfD issue I see is notability, and I'm on the fence there. To get a sense of this band's place in the world, I'd recommend this piece. Their album Destroy The Warming Sun! did get a little notice--Allmusic review, Blog Critics review, Detroit Metro Times review, blog notice, an actual video for "Lost Coordinate" off the album (14,000 Youtube views). Only around 1,000 distinct listeners on last.fm. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 20:33, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
