  • Delete not a hint of a suggestion of a glimmer of notablility. MarkBul 19:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Don't Delete It's an important background story of the best selling music group this side of '00. It's important enough to stay. Jay 19:53, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep or merge pertinent info into the Linkin Park and/or Chester Bennington article. Grey Daze is the band Chester Bennington was in before he joined LP. This doesn't particularly make the band notable, and the fact that the band is now more or less defunct and was barely a blip on the musical radar on their own makes me lean toward this article's information needing to be merged into the article(s) of it's more notable progeny. It also doesn't help that the Grey Daze article is a complete and utter mess and doesn't have ANY references. This is not to say that references don't exist, but a quick Google search turns up mostly lyrics repositories and one news story with a trivial mention in relation to Bennington.

  • Delete per WP:BAND. I don't see any sourced content worth merging. --Bfigura (talk) 03:42, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Don't delete. This article is important enough (although it would be great, if someone would provide more information about it to make it longer). I don't think merging is a good idea either, it's still a separate band, not some prequel to Linkin Park. I have also thought about making separate articles for the albums (which'll make it even shorter...). AnRod 07:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

If you don't mind...may I have a few weeks to contact...might be able to clean it up...even if I have to Generate a source...get someone to do an interview that can be placed on a POP press site...I see the popular press used so often on Wikipedia it makes me sick...still it should do for its standards...I have found it usefull...even if it is utimately wrong(i have no clue as yet)...just Mark the Hell out of it :-)Hoboscience 11:55, 6 September 2007 (UTC)Hoboscience 11:58, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

All the info I saw in it checks out, but I don't have sources, as I know most of it from random interviews or chats with Chester, or in threads on LPAssociation.com where Derek might've mentioned something that Sean (Dowdell) said to him (they're in contact). I will mention the situation to Derek, and see what he thinks as well. I know most of it isn't sourced, but that's because most of it is common knowledge among Linkin Park fans, and therefore no one in the LP community would question it. But I do know that here on Wikipedia that's not really enough, and definite sources are needed. Jay 19:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
