Procedural nom. This was prod tagged and deleted as part of User:Oo7565's random-deletion-tagging spree. The moment one sees that "founded by former members of Iron Maiden, The Cult and Thin Lizzy alarm bells sound, so I've undeleted and set up a procedural AFD discussion. Procedural nom, so I abstain. –  iride scent  22:24, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Can someone find any reliable sources to show that this band met any of the criteria for WP:BAND such as a charted single or multiple reliable and independent press coverage? The best bet seems to be that one member was formerly in a famous band (apparently an exception to "notability is not inherited). If not it should be deleted. The only refs are to less than reliable/independent source: a fan page and a Youtube video. If they made a record after changing their name, that notability should accrue to the renamed band "Psycho Motel" and not to this one. Edison (talk) 03:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep per Nominator. Passes WP:BAND by a landslide (passes at least three of the criteria, C5, C6, and C7). Original prodder appears to be nominating in Bad Faith, much as I like to assume good faith. Cheers.  I 'mperator 17:32, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't mind merging this to Psycho Motel. The band had no releases and few is known about other activities. -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  17:36, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge as above as it is the same band. "changed their name to Psycho Motel" Duffbeerforme (talk) 05:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
