 * Delete - could not find any evidence of any WP:GNG-satisfying coverage, music charting, or anyone referring to them as "critically acclaimed" as the article baselessly asserts.  Sergecross73   msg me  20:48, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I also strongly disagree with the 2009 AFD consensus. They argued that releasing 2 albums on a major record label was enough, but none of any of the labels they've been signed to are anyways near major level. I can't believe no one called them on that...though the standards were way more lax back then. Sergecross73   msg me  22:11, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment - The band has an album article at The Moon Will Rise Again, which will have to be addressed if the main article is deleted. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:01, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I had checked there to see if it had any coverage that helped notability, which it didn't, so I'm fine with that being WP:A9'd personally. Sergecross73   msg me  14:29, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is unfortunate because the band has a long history and a surprisingly large number of albums, though they are mostly self-released. They are almost purely local and probably have a loyal fan base in their town, but the only coverage I can find is friendly interviews in local entertainment papers:, , . Most of the article's claims about their success and influence cannot be backed up. It is also important to reiterate that notability rules were softer when this band survived an AfD back in 2009. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 13:06, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
