Does not meet the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (music). Article claims only local club dates, with one EP released and a second EP in production. Article also announces that the group is breaking up. Donald Albury 21:35, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Band doesn't seem to have any notability outside of it local area. Inhumer (talk) 22:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Don't Delete Local notability articles have a place on wikipedia as well. Consider articles on schools, theaters ,or radio stations. Group has two EPs out and has a notable fan base. Saksjn (talk) 13:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Fanbase does not count toward notability.
- Don't delete This band has been the subject an article in The Ledger. Has also performed at Southeastern University at an event for the Red Cross. --Mayor Coffee Bean (talk) 16:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Please read Wikipedia:Notability (music), which states the criteria a musical group needs to meet to be considered notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. Please address how this band meets those criteria. -- Donald Albury 20:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
- It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
- This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries.
- The band has been featured in the articles mentioned by Mayor Coffee Bean. Saksjn (talk) 14:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, but "subject of multiple non-trivial published works" means a lot more than two paragraphs in a local music column and one sentence in coverage of an event. -- Donald Albury 19:39, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
