Article on an indie band that reads like a personal essay and has no reliable independent sources. Claim to notability appears to be by inheritance, but notability is not inherited. Guy (Help!) 09:05, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Article already links to Allmusic which has a substantial bio and three album reviews, coverage also found in Maximumrocknroll.--Michig (talk) 20:46, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: No doubt its in poor shape, but this band did attain some notability.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 05:12, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Note that per WP:BEFORE #9, a nominator should make a good faith effort to determine if there really are no sources, before assuming that there are none just because the existing article is poorly written. Therefore a worthy article won't be deleted when it really needs expansion and improvement. This band has been covered in AllMusic and a few viable punk publications (like this) so that confers a basic level of notability. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:12, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per sources noted by above editors. Sources demonstrate sufficient notability for Wikipedia's standards. Recommend that the nom observe WP:BEFORE #9 before nominating articles such as this for deletion. If sources exist & problems are fixable by editing, then it's not a deletion candidate. --IllaZilla (talk) 00:15, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
