Insufficient notability Tenacious D Fan (talk) 16:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - the band has 3 releases in Hellhound Records, a fair sized independent metal label (at that time) and one that would be credited with helping define doom metal. They have numerous connections to other bands in the Maryland doom scene, including Spirit Caravan and Earthride. BeastmasterGeneral  17:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Note - If Hellhound can be counted as "one of the more important indie label (which I believe it does since it was instrumental in defining doom metal in the 90s) than they pass Notability (music) c5. They also appear to pass c6. BeastmasterGeneral  22:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per the Myspace test. Stifle (talk) 22:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - as has been noted, this article passes the relevant notability guidelines and the band were a part of the highly important Maryland doom scene. Also, the "Myspace test" is not a proper method of determining notability. ___Superfopp (talk) 01:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep as passing WP:MUSIC. That "MySpace test" is outdated and should be canned; plenty of charting artists and high-profile indie bands are using MySpace as their primary method of exposure. Chubbles (talk) 05:19, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per BeastmasterGeneral. --Bardin (talk) 11:47, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
