• Keep - The following, especially the first, are notable. [1], [2] and [3]. This meets WP:MUSIC. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 05:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Clearly notable per WP:Music. If every article without sources was listed here we'd have a very long list indeed. There are plenty of sources out there, please simply add them rather than nominating for afd. Debate (talk) 05:16, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete does not pass WP:BAND Ijanderson977 (talk) 12:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment I'm not sure if User:Ijanderson977 has read WP:BAND, but guideline two states that the band must have "had a charted hit on any national music chart." (last time I checked, Ireland was a nation, and several top 10 hits would appear to indicate compliance with the 'charted hit' criteria.) Guideline 3 requires that the band have "a record certified gold or higher in at least one country." (Last I checked, Ireland was also a country, and the album A Map Of The Universe By Blink "went Gold almost immediately"...) Enough said. Debate (talk) 13:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Bingo, meets WP:MUSIC just fine. I also question whether Ijanderson has read WP:CSD. You don't speedy delete for failing notability. Wisdom89 _{(T / ^C)} 16:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Keep, they also fullfill "a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country" as they played 113 gigs in 32 different US states. // Liftarn (talk)
• Keep - clearly meets WP:MUSIC as per Wisdom89, Debate etc. --BelovedFreak 22:01, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
