The result of the debate was KEEP.
Band with one EP. --LeeHunter 20:59, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- I now think this should be a Keep. As pointed out below the band has many hits on Google. --LeeHunter 14:34, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Delete Notability not established. Citations? Smoddy | ειπετε 22:34, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep -- 35,400 Google hits is pretty good for a lesser-known band, much less one of this style. --Idont Havaname 23:33, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep due to noteworthy Google hit count and existence as a real band not of the garage variety. GRider\talk 00:01, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
WeakDelete,borderline notable. Never heard of them before seeing that article. There have been hundreds of one EP/album bands in this category and this band just isnt that standing out. Megan1967 02:54, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)- Megan, based upon your voting track record I suspect there are hundreds if not thousands of bands you've never heard of before and will continue not to have heard of until you stumble upon them on Wikipedia. This is never ever a reason to delete something. If something is, as you put, "borderline notable" we are behooved to keep. GRider\talk 17:01, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Well I'm not the only one. There are thousands of bands out there, most of them not notable, and I seriously doubt that anyone has heard of every one of them, whether they are on wp or not. Megan1967 02:26, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Vote changed to delete, article still does not establish notability. Megan1967 04:01, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- Keep. Samaritan 21:18, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Google hit count is quite convincing. Alarm 13:30, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Weak delete doesn't meet WikiProject:Music's guidelines for inclusion, and no evidence of notability is given. The google hits seem to indicate that notability is possible, but certainly don't establish it. The article should estabish its own notability. Tuf-Kat 05:47, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
