The result was keep. This is a very weak keep borderline no consensus. Main article contributor appears to have a COI. However, article appears to assert notability very weakly per neutral editors. v/r - T P 15:03, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

band with no albums, all refs except one are forums, or wikipedia. One local news coverage. Won a few local battle of the bands. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:47, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Judgement suspended. Some of the things mentioned (Warped Tour, Bamboozle) MIGHT give just enough notability to allow keeping, but more sources must be provided first. McMarcoP (talk) 17:07, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Response: There are further sources available to insure credibility in this topic. I am currently in the process of locating them and properly citing them. Furthermore, the article is not written as a promotion tool, but an informative piece. Voted Most Random is listed on both the websites for The Bamboozle Roadshow and Warped Tour 2010 as well as on multiple other already credible and monitored wikipedia sites. Pictures at both of these festivals can be added once the 4 day trial period is concluded. Few bands have accomplished what this band has in this amount of time, and this is worthy of noting. The band does have an album: "Everything You Want and More." It is composed of 7 songs so debate has occurred on whether this is to be considered an E.P. or a Full-length (full-lengths have occurred with less). I will continue to add credibility to this article, but I appreciate all feedback in how to do so. Thank you for your time and review.

Comment From what I can gather, there are several sources which would apparently assert notability, but have not been added to the article. Perhaps a look at these sources can shed some light on the best course of action. Tarheel95 (Sprechen) 14:06, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I have to express some concern over the article since the main contributor (USER:Sdgunter seems to also be a member of the band itself, Scott Gunter. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:23, 10 December 2011 (UTC)Tokyogirl79[reply]

The Warped Tour does seem to show some notability, but I'm a little concerned that many of the sources in the article are trivial at best, such as routine notices of performances and such. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:52, 10 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Neutral. The COI editing aside, I feel that this could go either way. The band has played at several notable tours, but I don't see any thing alone the lines of "non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour" as far as their performances in these tours go. I'm not sure where HerCampus.com or NoiseTrend would lie as far as reliable sources go and that's the only sources on the page that mentions the band that wasn't a link to the Wikipedia page or to the tour sites. I'm leaning towards NoiseTrend being a reliable source, but I'm going to be neutral until someone can verify whether or not it's a reliable source. I did clean up the trivial sources, though. In any case, if by some chance this is deleted it should absolutely be incubated or userfied. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:21, 10 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
keep sources indicates atleast a minimum of notability.--BabbaQ (talk) 12:33, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
