• Keep Unfortunately. It does meet WP:MUSIC as they apparently had 2 albums on the Profane Existence label. Notability is another issue in that, well, not many people I know have ever heard of them and we live here in the band's home state of Mississippi. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ ^echo 06:35, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable via releases and coverage.--Michig (talk) 07:16, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Keep Possibly needs to be rewritten, but they have the notability to keep the page. Alberon (talk) 11:10, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Keep None of the reasons cited above are valid reasons for deletion. The article's already tagged for cleanup. Artist meets WP:MUSIC. Chubbles (talk) 15:41, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Keep: Passes WP:MUSIC. Schuym1 (talk) 22:37, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Delete Fails WP:MUSIC because it only has albums and independent labels making the band not notable. Also lack of references. No-one has explained how it passes WP:MUSIC either, this is because it doesn't pass it. Ijanderson (talk) 22:38, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
  • No one should have to. WP:MUSIC also says "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)." Schuym1 (talk) 23:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Keep, multiple albums released on Profane Existence easily passes WP:MUSIC#C5.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 22:59, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
• Comment having work published on an Independent Label does not pass WP:MUSIC#C5 because:

• they have not had credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition.
• they have not written musical theatre of some sort that was performed in a notable theatre that had a reasonable run as such things are judged in their particular situation and time.
• they have not had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer or lyricist who meets the above criteria.
• they have not written a song or composition which has won in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers.
• they have not been listed as a major influence or teacher of a composer, songwriter or lyricist that meets the above criteria.
• they have not appeared at a reasonable length in standard reference books on his or her genre of music.

Those are all other criteria. A band needs to meet just one, to pass the guideline.- Mgm|^(talk) 10:21, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

• • You are way wrong. All criteria 5 says is "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."
