  - - Comments by R paraphrased from discussion on the WP:Music talk page: The WP:MUSIC criteria do not mention anywhere that the bands must be national in scope. Many local bands have in fact released albums (crit#3), have been featured in magazines (crit#4) or indeed are among the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (crit #6). Indeed the point of the criteria is to weed out the examples cited such as teenage garage bands, etc. and not in any way those local bands that have been playing for years, have been featured in local music media, and have locally-successful records.

  - Comment On further review, perhaps is doesn't, though I at first thought that "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." sactioned it.

Keep - Added discography to article. All releases on discography which also contain articles on Wiki are notable (some had BEEN proposed for deletion but kept by administrators as notable). Did not include self-released cassette releases as noted on official website in discog section, listed only notable releases. (text taken from talk page)Madangry 18:02, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
COMMENT - Wikipedia should not place "mainstream = notability" constraints on independent music. (Paraphrased from Japanther delete page comments by Howrealisreal) Madangry 22:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT - For those of you deeming this non notable or saying it does not meet WP:MUSIC, please read current discussion on [WP: MUSIC]. Madangry 17:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like a keep. Albums make notability. Stifle 00:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Madangry as per myself previously at the Japanther AfD. --Howrealisreal 01:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 14:39, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment for Keeping article: -Added reviews (good and mediocre) for one of the band's releases reflecting non-biased write ups in verifiable music media, and per the new updated (as of March 1st/2nd 2006) criteria now the article DOES without a doubt pass WP:MUSIC.
