The result of the debate was keep. howcheng {chat} 20:10, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
This is a vanity page. I put it under speedy deletion but it was reverted, so I'll put it under AfD instead. --DCrazy talk/contrib 11:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per WP:MUSIC. I live in the Washington D.C. area and I've never heard of them, nor any of their supposed influences. --Cyde Weys talkcontribs 12:38, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rewrite. Obscure, but not non-notable; this probably isn't vanity, just a page that needs to be rewritten in a less fannish style. Meets WP:MUSIC for being on Equal Vision Records, a notable indie label (former home of Coheed & Cambria), and almost certainly meets the concert-tour requirement, although I wouldn't know how to document this. (And if you were a hardcore punk fan, you'd have heard of Minor Threat). I'm not involved with the page or the band, just a Wikipedia reader passing through; FWIW, although I appreciate the work you folks do here at AfD and can certainly sympathize with your frustration with bandcruft, I do think that many of these debates tend to underrate the distinction between garage band vanity (the high school band that's never played a gig) and obscure but legitimate underground artists who've paid their recording/touring dues without achieving (or wanting) commercial fame. (I think the "at least one national tour" requirement is actually a very good cutoff point, but, as I said, it can be hard to document.) 71.241.144.91 20:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - they have an allmusic.com entry. That's enough for me. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 13:50, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per above arguments. Punkmorten 16:40, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It should be noted that I started the article. Punkmorten 16:59, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I went to university in Melbourne, Australia where I first heard of them and met people who had heard of them, living in Kildare, Ireland now and again have met people who listen to them here...don't listen to much of that type of music so surprised that they're not apparently well-known as they're the most common example of it I've come across while travelling.

- Keep I live in Toronto, and I've heard of this band. (Can't say as thought I've heard anything BY them, but that's another story). Seems like enough people have heard of them that even if it is a vanity page, they should still be included, just have the article re-written. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.25.30.164 (talk • contribs)
