Article seems to have been made as part of a walled garden. Band's notability, argued for in the first AfD, was based at least partly on some internet magazine whose site no longer exists. First AfD seems awfully weak, having only the article creator/former band member, and 2 PRODders who felt guilty. No sources given in article except for an AMG link. First few ghits that come up are for the band website, Myspace, and (guess what) Wikipedia. Fails WP:N. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 23:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete unless further evidence can be brought to light. I scrolled through each of the 213 unique google hits that I got on this band and found only one reliable source that gave more than trivial coverage (playdates, for instance): a single album review (I've added it to the EL on the article). I also went through the review sites list from WP:ALBUM and did a search on the band at each of them. Pop Matters, the review I added to the article, was the only one that had a listing for the band (aside from AMG). Notability does not seem to be there. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 19:50, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete inasmuch as the band's notability has not been shown. Google is a wonderful thing, but the number of hits creates the illusion of notability. As noted above, when you click through "there's no there there." Xymmax (talk) 13:42, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
