Non-notable. Only sources are self-published. Tenacious D Fan (talk) 17:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. A bit puzzled by this nomination. The band had a number 5 album on the indie chart in 1983, and 2 indie single hits. An independent reference from a published book is included to back this up. The article needs work, but I see no reason to delete.--Michig (talk) 17:36, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, agree with . What the article needs is massive WP:OR pruning and a slew of secondary sources added, but not deletion. Cirt (talk) 21:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * KeepThis article needs more sources, not deletion. Willvista (talk) 23:10, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak delete the article appears to be subject to an enormous amount of conflict of interest editing, and consequently becomes laden with the band and fans' soapboxing about the band's belief and philisophy. However, my deepest concern is the lack of reliable sources with which to verfiy and validate the material in the article thus failing one of the fundamental pillars of WP.

 * Strong keep: It's a notable band, and not all the references are self-published. The article should be improved, not deleted.Spylab (talk) 01:22, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
