Non-notable band per WP:MUSIC. Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. NikFreak (leave message) 15:25, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. All music have a bio and review, further news coverage at Blabbermouth.net: e.g. [1], [2], and MTV confirms 2 members of Megadeth in the band, three albums and a compilation released on Metal Blade Records. Passes several criteria of WP:MUSIC.--Michig (talk) 16:58, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Those are reliable sources. However, whole article was created based on WP:OR source that doesn't even exist now. And all the above sources are not enough to make a full length article. — NikFreak (leave message) 11:02, 3 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Agreed with NikFreak. A few sources partially mentioning the band aren't enough. These references refer mostly to Megadeth. There is not enough text about the band itself to make an article. I suggest merging with Megadeth, or just mentioning it in biographies of band members here on Wikipedia. — Gahonzu (talk) 09:54, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Agreed. There are a lot of non-notable bands linked to famous ones. These sources don't present enough informations about the band itself to make even a start-class article. The whole article was based on WP:OR and these new sources couldn't even cover everything that is written now (and it is currently a stub-class article). I think that a few lines about this band on Megadeth page and perhaps band members articles on Wikipedia would be enough, as this band definitely doesn't pass criteria for having it's own article. — Vater-96 (talk) 22:06, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep notable band per WP:MUSIC. has multiple albums on Metal Blade. I have no idea where this talk of OR comes from but that can be fixed by editing. There is enough text at allmusic alone to create an article. There is no need for it to be a full length article, stubs are good. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:13, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Alright, then I suggest putting some references into the article and we will see if everything can be covered. — NikFreak (leave message) 11:58, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
