Band appears to fail to meet notability guidelines: WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:41, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I found that they had a hit of sorts (see also [1]), and I found some coverage on the web: [2], [3], [4], [5]. Not really convincing to establish notability but if others can find more it may put the band above the bar. --Michig (talk) 06:23, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The article as it is looks fan-written, with trivia tossed in at whatever position it occurs to whichever passing fan can insert it, but Michig's evidence is accurate: the band charted. They were on a major label and made it in the top 50 with a single. Hithladaeus (talk) 11:50, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • More inclined to keep - I'm the user who removed the PROD and suggested to go to AfD because I found sources such as this (charts), one press release and links such as this confirm the Papa Roach affiliation here. Finding coverage even when detailed is not easy to find as it'll give you results for other things but I found some News here too. I'm not from California or familiar with the band but I felt this needed more examination than PROD. SwisterTwister talk 16:29, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This article has a few members that are in other notable bands such as, Shane Blay in Oh Sleeper and Wovenwar, and Chad Ackerman in Destroy the Runner & (I guess) Austrian Death Machine. I know Janssen Jenson was in band but i still don't remember which one that was. Metalworker14 (yo) 6:33, June 10, 2015 (UTC)
