Nothing in the list of releases by this group suggests that it is sufficiently notable. Delete. (If I had enough energy right now, I would probably also nominate the record labels that handled their releases as nonnotable themselves, but that would then probably call for deleting other groups that those labels handled. That seems to be too much of an undertaking at the moment.) --Nlu (talk) 04:49, 26 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep reading WP:BAND it appears to pass 1 and 5. If the labels were successfully deleted, as mentioned above, then 5 presumably would go away. But I think all the labels are probably defensible, though the articles need all need work. Mike Linksvayer (talk) 02:27, 29 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Did they win anything? Did they sell anything in great numbers? Have they had anything published about them besides trade mag reviews? What differentiates them from the millions of other indie artists? The bar for WP:MUSICBIO is quite high: Grammys, TV performances, gold records, top of the charts, major label (or "important" indie label) releases. Gm545 (talk) 08:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
