Delete News comes up with a trivial mention in a NY Times article that focuses on one of the members [1]. The rest I could find is about two bands with similar names (Lava Baby and Hot Lava Monster) which seem to be more notable. It's a pretty neutral article and done in good faith, but they do not seem to meet any of the WP:BAND criteria. Smocking (talk) 14:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - questionable notability, no significant coverage in reliable independent sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:18, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Fits one criteria of WP:BAND, number 5. --BaronVonYiffington (talk) 17:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC) Delete - upon further review, the article does NOT qualify under WP:BAND#5. ~ Baron Von Yiffington ^. _talk ^. _contribs 19:08, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You mean "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels"? ~~Hot Lava has only released one album (so far, but WP:CRYSTAL).~~ See below Smocking (talk) 18:25, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The page itself states that they have released two albums. --Baron Von Yiffington . _talk . _contribs 18:31, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upon further review, I think the article may be inaccurate. The article says they released a record in 2007 by the name of "Hot Lava Owns You", but I cannot find any sources that says this album actually exists. If they truly have only released one, I will change my vote to Delete. ~ Baron Von Yiffington ^. _talk ^. _contribs 18:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I had the same problem, so I though it might be an early single or something. I've done some more digging and finally found info about the other album here: [2]. It exists, but was released by the label "Pop-Hop", which is not a notable one as far as I can tell (unlike Bar/None Records). Let's delete this for now. If they release another album with Bar/None an editor could always request a copy of the deleted article from the closing admin. Smocking (talk) 19:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I have changed my vote to delete. ~ Baron Von Yiffington ^. _talk ^. _contribs 19:08, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Doesn't seem to fit any criterion. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 17:05, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
