This article was nominated for deletion in 2008, but was kept on the grounds of meeting WP:NBAND. At the time, the criteria for NBAND were somewhat looser/more prone to being misinterpreted. Participants argued that since some of the band's music had appeared in some TV shows, the band passed NBAND criteria 10: "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc."

It seems clear to me however that simply having one's music be in the background in a TV show doesn't meet the criteria. What qualifies is having one's music be the theme song, or performing in a TV show, as in, the band is onscreen performing. As well, NBAND has been clarified to advise that if C10 is the only claim to notability, WP:BLP1E applies and a redirect to the main article is more appropriate.

Anyway, with the previous keep rationale out of the way, this band fails NBAND and GNG. No reliable sources located to indicate they are notable in and of themselves. All the sources in the article are citations showing they played with other people.

 * Delete, assertations are all very trivial and no good sourcing found. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 16:37, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
