Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indyanapolis (talk • contribs) 19:13, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To quote the WP:NBAND page

Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.
Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.
- Animal/Not Animal on the Top Heatseekers Chart at No. 40
Has released two or more albums on a major record label or on one of the more important indie labels (i.e., an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable)
- Put out Animal and Not Animal on Epic Records. Their original album The Dust of Retreat was re-released through Artemis Records after success on an indie label release by the Standard Recording Company

Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g., a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc.
- Performed on Late Night With Conan O'Brien in 2008
- Song "Hello Vagina" was featured on The CW's One Tree Hill

There's 4 of the qualifications right away. And there are more, but no specific sources (Margot's reputation as an Indianapolis band for example). Indyanapolis (talk) 18:45, 24 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A good review in PopMatters, plus all the other print writeups per Indyanapolis? A good firm Keep, even with their grammar-taunting ways. Earflaps (talk) 16:16, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Some of the coverage given is a bit thin, but the PopMatters and Hybrid articles more than raise the curve in my mind. Likewise the 2 releases on Epic are different versions of the same album, but I still think that meets the spirit of BAND. Throw in the Heatseekers charting (which is one of Billboards numerous charts these days) and top off with appearing on Conan, and notability is well established in my mind. The sources listed above should also be inserted into the article, either as external links, or inline cites supporting the content, as the refs in the article now are sparse.
