This band is not notable. Electric Skychurch does not meet any of the criteria of WP:BAND, and the only sources are All Music Guide and their My Space page, A Google search resulted in nothing more than that. Zacaparum (talk) 20:15, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A Google search resulted in plenty for me: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. --Michig (talk) 19:39, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The results of your Google search, Mishig, are simply mentions in the All Music Guide (which includes virtually all released records), or some minor press mentions, obviously the result of a standard publicity campaign that occurs when a record is released. This does not mean that the band is notable, within the confines of WP:BAND. It just means they had a publicist. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zacaparum (talk • contribs) 22:04, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. These demonstrate that the band pass both WP:BAND and WP:GNG. --Michig (talk) 07:07, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the subject of this AfD has received multiple passing mentions in multiple reliable sources; that being said none of those mentions IMHO pass significant coverage as described in WP:GNG. Failing this, the lesser guideline of WP:BAND, which it also does not pass, is not as important.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:19, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Meets WP:BAND criterion #1 with non-trivial coverage in such varied sources as Billboard, the Sun-Sentinel, Allmusic (a biography and reviews), CMJ New Music Monthly and a full article about the band in Option. I added some of the sources to the article just now. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 11:32, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Michig and Paul Erik have demonstrated that this band meets WP:BAND through coverage in reliable sources. — sparklism ^hey! 13:58, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
