Lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. There is one OK source, the Tablet Magazine one. Others are a blog where the band talks about themselves and trivial mention. Nothing satisfying WP:MUSIC. A search found no better sources. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:31, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. At least two notable members, thus satisfying WP:BAND.--Invisiboy42293 (talk) 17:57, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the trouble with that is that (beyond the fact that eg Mike Wagner (musician) doesn't even mention the band at all) there is circular notability going on, where the musicians are notable because of having been in two notable bands, one of which is this one, which is notable because those musicians were in it.

The band does have 4 blue linked musicians but how many are independently notable?

Yishai Romanoff. Seems to only be notable as a member of two notable bands, this one included. So not notable independent of this band.

Dennis Donaghy. Same as above and also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dennis Donaghy

Paul Alpert. Seems to only be notable as a member of three notable bands. His notability is entirely dependent on his bands, not really independently notable.

WP:MUSIC#6 is meant to be for inheriting notability from someone who has inherited it from someone else. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:44, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Has no evidence for notability except for the "members are individually notable" criterion. However, as demonstrated above, these individuals are not really notable, but rather can only be considered notable by the '"member of several notable bands" criterion. These are circular claims of notability. LK (talk) 05:22, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Concur with above, circular notability is no notability at all. 78.105.23.161 (talk) 07:48, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
