The Monotypes
An obscure band that is tired of today's bands that strive for fame and hype (article's own words). So why should they be here? On other hand, one of their songs was used in an episode of Grey's Anatomy. Would that suffice to establish notability?. Daniel Case 05:40, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * According to WP:MUSIC, "Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show. (But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that page.)" is a notability criterion. They haven't had a theme song, but I'd say they're hovering just on the edge of notability.  Weak delete.  Snurks T C 08:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete. I found a review of the band here.  However, a Google search on the magazine they were reviewed in puts the magazine's notability on the fence as well.  I agree with Snurks that this is a tough call.  But a song used as one-off incidental music in a TV show is not nearly as notable as a song used as a theme, and given the volume of band articles, taking a hard line on WP:BAND might not be a bad thing.

 * Keep. Have had music on major television drama series. Cnwb 22:51, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Even though they are not well known, except for an episode of Grey's Anatomy, they still deserve a page. The fact that they were on the show could make them more widely known by those who liked the song on the show. VincentGross 05:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
