This was a speedy deletion candidate which was contested by its author. The article claims that the notability of the band is 2 releases on notable indie labels. To be perfectly honest, this is borderline db-band but it's also almost speedy deletable as no content/context. The article is a a sentence (plus a second sentence to explain they're notable by quoting WP:CSD), an infobox, and the list of the 2 CDs. Metros 05:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Author Keep Meets Criterion 5 of WP:MUSIC by the discography alone, and I don't see why I have to add anything else to keep it from being speedied. Nevertheless, I added three reviews by top-flight press agencies. If you want more, I'll go find them. Chubbles 05:31, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• It's not really more reviews, but more content at this point. As pointed out in the nom, most of your article is quoting Wikipedia policy rather than describing the band. Speedy Delete under CSD A1 unless expanded to not qualify for that criteria. Band appears to meet notability by the rationale included in the article text, which needs to be removed.

  It's a stub. I don't know a lot about the band, but I can't see it possibly qualifying under A1 at this point. Chubbles 05:50, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Looks like it meets Criteria 1 and 5 of WP:MUSIC. Even if not, certainly not a speedy candidate. Maxamegalon2000 05:55, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep meets criteria 1 and 5 of WP:MUSIC, well referenced with numerous independent reviews. Royalbroil 03:24, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep A no-brainer: one album on Revelation and another on Frenchkiss. Easily meets WP:BAND. Precious Roy 09:49, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
