The previous AfD for this article was relisted twice because no one was commenting and then the AfD was concluded with a non-admin closure. The only user who commented in that discussion cited some sources in order to try to establish the band's notability. I have reviewed those sources and most of them do not look reliable; there are broken links, websites that my browser blocks as "dangerous", and just generally unprofessional websites. It is also disconcerting that the creator of this article and the user who has by far contributed the most information to this article has admitted to being a former member of the band. This band does not appear to be the subject of a sufficient number of reliable secondary sources and the article itself only exists because of self-promotion. This is not the kind of article we should have on Wikipedia. Neelix (talk) 15:33, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Notability problems, I can't find any reliable 3rd party sources via a Google search, there's an absences of articles in music magazines or news magazines about them, the only hits are blogs and fan websites, as far as I can tell. --Raven1977Talk to meMy edits 20:21, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. My usual practice back in my NAC days was to close AFDs such as the first one as "no consensus with leave to speedy renominate". However, it looks like this one predates the addition of the npasr clause at Wikipedia:Deletion process. I normally wouldn't punch "keep" on something like that now of days. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:12, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I have no problem with the links from the first AfD, they go to good reviews of their albums and one interview. There's also these [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] - frankie (talk) 01:30, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per lack of notability. For a Wikipedia article to sustain itself, it needs sufficient and reliable references. 21:54, 14 June 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SwisterTwister (talk • contribs)
