Doesn't state notability. Harland1 (^t/_c) 18:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

• Keep You could at least do a google search before creating an AFD. From the first page of search results --NickPenguin_(contribs) 18:24, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Comment: seems to fall short based on the article. First page of Google claims it has sold 2000 copies of it's album. It's not really that impressing. Licencing to be used, isn't that crystalballing? Greswik (talk) 18:37, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, no indication of passing WP:MUSIC. Playing a hot club and selling "in excess of 2000 copies" of their first album(myspace) are basic starting points for bands, not notability. --Dhartung | Talk 18:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep There is plenty of noteriety if you google "mere band" as opposed to "mere" in google. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mkopczyn (talk • contribs) 19:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletions. -- the wub "?!" 19:13, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Keep seems to meet WP:BAND based on sources I just added to the article. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 21:18, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. The "source" at garageband.com, "where you can influence which artist will become tomorrow's hit," seems to be a user-written review, like all the others at the site, and is seemingly wrong even about the band's home locale. One article in a local newpaper and the band's own Web site are insufficient to establish notability, and I can't find any evidence that their album is anything other than a self-release. In addition, the article is basically a copyvio of their Web site's home page, with some moving around of sentences. Deor (talk) 02:37, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
