- Delete - Fails WP:BAND. As per nom, haven't been able to find anything that asserts notability. --Kudpung (talk) 14:05, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete -- no notability demonstrated in a reliable secondary source. N2e (talk) 23:45, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- As to the several songs, I would delete those pages per AfD nom for the same reason. However, the AfD links on those pages do not link correctly, to the song's AfD pages. They link again to the band's AfD page. Some knowledgeable AfD nominator could probably fix this. N2e (talk) 23:52, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's one AFd for all 4 articles, so its formatted correctly as per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_list_multiple_related_pages_for_deletion. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 07:01, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
