National touring, an album released with several chart notations in Billboard Charts, first Japan tour coming up and first appearance at the whole 2016s Warped Tour between June and August. Keep. -- 217.252.156.82 ( talk) 12:50, 29 March 2016 (UTC) reply

• Keep #3 spot in US Heatseekers, #9 in US Hard Rock Albums, #28 in US Independent Albums and #43 in US Top Rock Albums Charts for their debut record, Blueprints, is enough to show notability. Since the release the album might have sold 5.000+ copies. The album was produced by Jeremy McKinnon and Andrew Wade of A Day to Remember. The band toured US, was announced for Download-Festival in the UK, the whole Warped Tour, and most recently Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in Germany. -- 79.226.103.209 ( talk) 03:49, 7 April 2016 (UTC) reply

• Delete Nothing the IPs above list as "enough to show notability" is enough to show notability. There is little independent general coverage, so the article must aim for WP:BAND and comes short: the charts are not enough to show inherent notability, since they did not chart on the national chart for the US, the tours did not receive "non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources", etc. As a note, the band could qualify in the future, as Fearless Records might be viewed as "one of the more important indie labels", but they need two albums under the label to qualify under WP:BAND.

• Weak keep - appears to be enough here to claim notability, but I am concerned about the potential presence of vote stocking. DaltonCastle ( talk) 01:15, 15 April 2016 (UTC) reply
• Delete: ... claim notability under what criterion? There's not enough coverage to meet the GNG; these references are fleeting mentions, or else in non-reliable sources. Sure, it's going on this tour, but just that simple fact is no longer enough to meet WP:BAND, even if it were a headliner and not just one of twenty other bands on said tour. A claim that their sole album might have sold 5,000 copies doesn't cut it; meeting NALBUM requires five hundred thousand sales (and, oh, evidence of the same). Charting on Billboard's fringe charts doesn't meet NALBUM either; they need to have charted on the Billboard 200, and there's no evidence of that either. A whole whopping lot of TOOSOON here.

Okay, delete it, trash it or do whatever you want to do with the article. I'm sick of it all. -- 79.226.113.8 ( talk) 21:09, 19 April 2016 (UTC) reply
