 * Keep – I would say it passes WP:BAND on account of albums on Enigma and especially Capitol. Poor referencing is not a reason for deletion: just a prompt to put some referencing in. – B.hotep •talk• 10:27, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * A lack of references shows a lack of notability. References are core to Wikipedia. If you can show it passes the WP:BAND requirements, then it can stay. --Triwbe (talk) 10:54, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * A lack of references means that nobody has put them in. I have no interest in the article essentially, but there are references out there if one has the time to look. I will see what I can do but I'm not sure where this onus on myself came from. – B.hotep •talk• 11:05, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I have put basic references in from NME and Rolling Stone – both reliable sources. Oh, and I threw an Allmusic one it too. – B.hotep •talk• 11:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Bubba's refs meet WP:MUSIC. sparkl!sm hey! 15:23, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep-Poorly referenced, yes. Failing WP:BAND, No.-- SKATER  T. 16:18, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. 2 albums on major labels passes one criterion of WP:MUSIC. Mutiple significant coverage in reliable sources (this from Allmusic and the bio on the NME site, which is sourced from The Encyclopedia of Popular Music) passes another.--Michig (talk) 19:26, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: per Hotep. Iowateen (talk) 22:47, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

I am happy that the band passes WP:BAND C5 and so withdraaw my nomination. --Triwbe (talk) 09:42, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
