The Warriors (band)
Fails WP:Music. Curiously, their website link defaults to an NBA site (at the time of writing anyway). BlueValour 02:18, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I fixed that, sorry, but they are a real band, they have 2 cd realeses and a "redux" available in stores and they are singed to a fair size label, Eulogy Recordings, they usually handle bands with this kind of sound. Avenged Evanfold 02:13, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * thought id add they have a page on allmusic.com and a page for all three releases. Avenged Evanfold 02:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete as a non-notable group, failing WP:MUSIC. Their label should probably be deleted as well as non-notable, but that's another story. TedTalk/Contributions 02:21, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep (without question) (creator) Are you kidding? I just went through hell last month to get Cancer Bats to be kept. I think I know a little about what makes a notable band. They have 2 cds in stores, do national tours and have an allmusic entry. Don't mess around. Avenged Evanfold 02:24, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep for touring info present on their myspace profile, and for being on Eulogy Recordings. But needs to be written, entire first part of article is from their allmusic bio .  --Joelmills 02:50, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment The "national tour" is a tour of [non-notable] clubs, which really isn't a national tour. Eulogy Recordings really should be deleted as well.  At best, it is marginally notable -- which is not enough to carry the band.  Keeping bands of this level of notability opens the door to every band that has ever spent a summer playing at clubs and has a local recording studio pressing CDs.

 * Comment - I agree they are marginal in their notability, but I still think they squeak by. A little more info, their album has been released by a German record company, and according to the Ventura County Reporter , Eulogy Recordings is a subsidiary of Warner Brothers, and the band is headlining some shows at fair sized (400 seat) venues. If you google "the warriors" + Tehachapi, you'll find a lot of independent music websites that talk about this band.  --Joelmills 05:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - Maybe the German one is affiliated somehow but according to Eulogy, Thw Warriors are still with them.
 * A tour of clubs isn't actually a tour now? That's new. Keep, by the way. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:MUSIC. Notability is marginal at best. --Coredesat talk 04:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - What is the point of having a list of all the record labels if they arent going to have functional links? And if a band has released multiple cds that are sold throughout the US and in Canada (or at least Toronto) doesnt that make then at least a little notable? 1 more thing: remember this isnt a vote, its a debate, quality over quantity of argument. Avenged Evanfold 05:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm convinced of this band's notability and verifiability. Despite being negative, reviews are reviews, so Keep. --Coredesat talk 02:27, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete needs secondary sources. Any published reviews or articles about the band would sway me to a keep. -- N  scheffey (T/C) 08:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - Well, when I search The Warriors + Beyond the Noise I get a few reviews, unfortunatly they are all either negative or neutral. The reviewers believe they have created this music for hardcore kids to start fights at shows. While that may not appeal to many people I still think that band is notable to keep. I just dont know if putting up negative reviews is appropriate, or even where I'd fit them in. Avenged Evanfold 15:53, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Negative reviews are still reviews, I'm now satisfied this band is verifiable enough for a keep.-- N  scheffey (T/C) 20:33, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. National tour, allmusic.com page, releases on notable label... some of you don't seem to really get the music business as it is today, and shouldn't be putting music articles up for deletion. Parsssseltongue 18:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
