This is an unremarkable band. A7 declined because the band as existed 5 years. So what? No reliable sources provided, no third-party coverage, no indication of importance. — Timneu22 · talk 11:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Does Billboard.com count as a valid chart source ? If so, the article satisfies WP:BAND due to them having an album that has charted [1] Ezhuks (talk) 11:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. According to this they spent one week at number 48 on the heatseekers chart, I'm not sure this brings them up to the level of notability required...Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 12:05, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete charting only at the very bottom of Heatseekers for one week without substantial third party coverage isn't enough. Gigs (talk) 13:51, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The band has released 3 albums, 2 on Bieler Bros. Records, and in addition to the minor chart placing there's a short Allmusic bio and a few other items of coverage ([2], [3], [4]).--Michig (talk) 17:38, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep per charted album, added mention of it to article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 04:39, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral. In response to a few things brought up in this discussion: Billboard.com is not just a valid chart source, but I would argue that it is the best valid chart source for the U.S. music charts. (The print version of Billboard is just as valid, but the online version is easier to reference.) On the other hand, the Top Heatseekers album chart is one of Billboard's lesser charts, because it only include artists who have not placed in high positions on Billboard's other charts yet. On the other, other hand, the one week when this band charted in Billboard appears to be last week -- September 18, 2010. So this band is apparently at its most successful point in its career right now, and deleting this article now may not necessarily be the best idea. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:54, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
