Long-time tagged article for which I found no better sourcing aside from this so although the article would seem acceptable at first, I'm not sure if this can be better improved and with the band now ended, their website is now closed. Pinging author and past user Waggers and I would've notified User:NeonLego but it seems they're not noticeably active. SwisterTwister talk 20:43, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - there have been several articles and reviews written about this band in reliable, third party sources (some examples: [1] [2]). The fact that an article hasn't been edited for a while is not a sufficient reason to delete it. If it was acceptable at first, it's acceptable now. Waggers TALK 11:44, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, seconding Waggers. Played a centenary gig at the Royal Albert Hall (see also the Cross Rhythms report), reviewed in Cross Rhythms multiple times, co-wrote 'Everlasting God' which remains one of the 25 most-played songs in US churches. The article could do with a trim, but the band's definitely notable, if only just. 3M163//Leave a message 06:10, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Subject can be referenced with independent, reliable sources to meet the requirements of WP:NBAND. I have added some citations to this effect. -- Sam Sailor ^Talk! 01:49, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
