Speedy delete per A7. Absolutely no assertion of notability or significance, no external sources, no verifiability. Luinfana (talk) 06:59, 13 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:MUSIC, missing reliable sources. — neuro^(talk) 09:34, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep – I found two mentions in Billboard (now added to the article) that say that this band achieved success in Japan, and were signed to Shock Records. It's conceivable that most of this band's press coverage is in Japan, which would explain the difficulty so far in locating sources with more extensive coverage.

Delete: notability not established, as per WP:MUSIC. JamesBurns (talk) 00:48, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Week keep per Paul Erik. Although searching for the band on notable English-language music sites and news sources may not give you many results, perhaps this band's popularity in Japan in substantial enough to warrant an article. We would need someone who is fluent in Japanese to try to establish notability by searching notable Japanese music websites and news sources.

Keep based on the logic of Paul Erik and A Stop at Willoughby. 71.255.81.181 (talk) 03:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
