Unreferenced band fails WP:MUSIC. Looks like they only released a few EPs on minor labels and compilations. I can't find any media coverage. Pburka (talk) 04:24, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep

This band may not have been an enormous band, but they had a significant cult-following for their short period. They were a fan favorite on label (Fiddler Records) that featured gold-selling artists Dashboard Confessional and New Found Glory, as well as indie mainstays The Bled, The Higher and Recover
The lyrics on their first album coined the namesake of the band Panic at the Disco, who have several gold and platinum awards from several countries.

I have found reference to this fact, and have noted it in the article. While I may not have much experience at Wikipedia, I am committed to making sure relevant information is included about artists like Name Taken: Underrated, under-heard, but ultimately influential.

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

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The band has received sufficient coverage to establish notability and to enable us to have a meaningful, sourced article: Allmusic bio, Allmusic review, Arizona Daily Star, Arizona Daily Star, CMJ New Music Report.--Michig (talk) 10:01, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Web searches yield plenty of hits indicating notability, as noted by Michig, and there are others, besides; I've incorporated several into the article. There are also many hits for blogs, fanzines, and side mentions in pieces on other artists, which, while not worthy of inclusion individually, do as a group further indicate a band that made a notable impact in its world. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 19:27, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
