Queried speedy delete: the article says that this band has made 2 albums: see Wikipedia:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles entry 5. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:57, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I couldn't find any significant coverage other than a MusicMight bio ([1]), which may have also been included in Garry Sharpe's book (but no preview on Google Books), and reprints of press releases: [2], [3]. The British band of the same name seemed to be the subject of most things found, with Allmusic appearing to confuse the two - they have a bio of the British band but the US band's albums are listed with theirs.[4] Google Books suggests possible coverage in another book, but with no preview:[5]. --Michig (talk) 08:08, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The "British band of the same name" is Solstice (UK band). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:17, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I can't find anything other than the information listed above. There is another notability criteria that the band seems to meet. BAND#6 says, "Is an ensemble which contains two or more independently notable musicians". Listed in the article there are two former band members and a guest that have articles. ~~ GB fan ~~ ^talk 04:46, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant keep, based on WP:BAND criterion 6. I don't really agree with that criterion, however. The idea that any ensemble of notable members is itself notable, strikes me as one of the arguments to avoid, specifically WP:NOTINHERITED. ~Amatulić (talk) 02:24, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant keep Have three (not two) albums released. this needs a lot of work but does pass muster.Slatersteven (talk) 18:36, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
