The Chop Tops

 * – (View AfD)

Not sufficiently notable for inclusion, even if this isn't a speedy. Addhoc (talk) 13:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak delete no evidence that this meets WP:MUSIC. Keep per Shoessss below: meets WP:N. скоморохъ  14:23, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Looks like an unsigned band or a vanity pressing. Probably fun music, definitely not encyclopedic.  Utgard Loki (talk) 16:51, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete (I originally tagged article as CSD). Only point of note is winning competition.  Every town in the western world has its own battle of the bands; this doesn't mean that every winner is notable and therefore needs an article.  Fails WP:MUSIC on all counts, as far as I can see.

 * Keep – Found several reliable – credible - secondary sources here .  If you notice they include San Francisco Chronicle and the Times-Standard just in the first few cites.  Shoessss |  Chat  00:05, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, based mostly on this, which notes that they opened for Brian Setzer's comeback tour (he's very notable). I'm not finding a source at the moment that says that was a national tour, but I'd be very surprised if it wasn't, meaning they'd meet WP:MUSIC. In any case, Shoessss has pointed out multiple non-trivial references to them in reliable sources, so keep on that basis. Tuf-Kat (talk) 00:42, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
