Fails WP:MUSIC; a following on the internet produces a lot of ghits, which tends to obscure how thin the coverage really is. For our purposes a relatively successful myspace band. Discussed last year without consensus. - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 13:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They are featured in the current issue of Guitar World: see [1] That's notable enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.215.144.191 (talk) 20:20, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. See WP:MUSIC g1 ("Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable").- Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 21:59, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per this. Tbhotch* ^{۩ ۞} 01:08, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Criteria #2 (Self-titled album charted, nearly hitting 2 on Billboard's "Heatseakers") and #7 (One of the more prominently and popular leaders of Djent) of WP:BAND. In addition, in only two weeks (read: 13 days) they will meet criteria #5 by having release 2 albums on a notable label. Based #2 and #5 alone, I feel, merits inclusion. Otherwise, looking at #5 we delete and then in almost no time, they become notable.GreenRunner0 01:11, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I dispute that g7 applies. Of what notable style are they a prominent representative? - Simon Dodd { U·T·C·WP:LAW } 04:00, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. One lifeline might be - although it looks tenuous - that the band's record company Roadrunner used Universal Music Group for distribution (uncited) from 2001 to an indeterminate date, and that it released a Periphery record in 2010 while it had been apparently taken over by Warner Bros, this in 2007, although the out-of-date 2007 cite for this is now unsupported as the Warner Bros archive only goes back to 2008. This is grasping at straws I know. Any significance of the charts mentioned above is another matter. If the article survives, it needs a good flush-out - weasles, inlines to You Tube, and fanpoop.

Comment. Keep as per section 6 in addition to 2, 7 (Djent), and 5 (as soon as their EP is released) on WP:MUSIC; former drummer Travis Orbin is currently playing with the band Sky Eats Airplane; lead guitarist Misha Mansoor has produced albums for bands such as Animals As Leaders and Circles, as well as Periphery and his other project Haunted Shores.
