Delete: Non-notable band that has only one album (with some EPs and demos). This doesn't meet the WP:BAND standard of two full-length albums on major labels. No mentions on Allmusic and Amazon only has the one full-length album. Includes discography so I didn't speedy. —Wknight94 (talk) 05:18, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Well known band within genre. Wolfmoon 10:31, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as notable band (lots of Google hits) with two non-self released albums [1] and lots of reviews [2]. Would be more "notable" if they were not Finnish and played bubble-gum pop instead of metal, but let's not hold that against them. Definitely rises above the typical garage band that I have no trouble voting delete on. Turnstep 20:32, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: FWIW, only one of those albums is a full-length album. And I won't even go into whether the releases were on "major labels" like WP:MUSIC stipulates. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's a big difference between obscure and non-notable. Delete: All bedroom DJs, unsigned bands, vanity articles. Keep: Anything borderline like this. The history of popular music is rich and colourful and should be recorded. --kingboyk 22:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: apparently a moderately well-known band within the genre and their country of origin (witness this review, for example). - squibix (talk) 13:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep has articles on the German, Polish and Finnish wikipedias -- Astrokey44|talk 13:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Well known band within its genre, listed in other music encylopedias. --Morrigan Targaryen 21:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Okay, I'm amazed at the support here. Maybe I need to check this band out?! Are they similar to Finntroll? How can they be such a big deal with only one release? —Wknight94 (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if they're a big deal or not, but their rendition of Leningrad Cowboys' Those Were the Days is truly horrible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Agamemnon2 (talk • contribs) .
