Doesn't really meet notability critera (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:MUSIC); band has never charted, has not been subject to published works to the best of my searching, and every other criterion on the list. the1akshay (talk) 15:31, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, tricky. It seems that Hope and Social were originally called Four Day Hombre, which currently serves as a redirect to this article under discussion. While I couldn't find anything meeting WP:BAND for Hope and Social, there's plenty of coverage out there for Four Day Hombre: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Since Hope and Social are essentially the same band as Four Day Hombre but with a different name, I'm !voting Weak Keep, but I'm not sure what the correct name of the article should be. — sparklism ^hey! 08:02, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Whilst the line-up of Four Day Hombre and Hope and Social are the same, the music and the approach are very different, as said in the article. Combined with the name change, it seems to me like it's a different band in spirit. Every other article related to this topic references Four Day Hombre, not Hope & Social. Perhaps we should keep (or rename, readd, whatever) Four Day Hombre but remove Hope & Social? I guess I'm !voting Delete though, if push came to shove. 86.2.52.142 (talk) 10:48, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep, possibly rename. Four Day Hombre is notable, [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], the only coverage of Hope and Social I can find is on the official site, events listings/announcements in local news, and blogs. Peter James (talk) 16:46, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rename, yes, I've changed my mind. The question is whether to rename or not. the1akshay (talk) 11:10, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
