Another editor's PROD was contested. Concern was: Appears to be self-promotion. Eeekster (talk) 00:16, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Hi, I just tried to edit the article to make it sound less promotional. I'm not going to !vote on this because I don't have much experience with this type of band, but my personal opinion is that the band meets WP:GNG because of the amount of coverage. --gdfusion (talk|contrib) 02:07, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Where's the self promotion? Any article about a band is going to be a bit promotional, but as it stands now this article seems neutral enough to me, and the local accolades seem sufficient for notability. Meters (talk) 02:18, 18 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Also found and added some national coverage. Clearly notable, it doesn't sound promotional to me (thx gdfusion for improvements on that). Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 23:02, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
