This is an unsourced article on a Christian band that once placed somewhere in a Christian chart (as opposed ot the Billboard Hot 100 or some other significant chart). I don't think it's ever had a reliable independent source other than a single link to the chart page, which does not count. Guy (Help!) 12:59, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Substantial Billboard article here, New York Times here, further coverage in Christian sources: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Allmusic reviews of Welcome to the Rock 'N' Roll Worship Circus, and A Beautiful Glow. These sources were easy to find.--Michig (talk) 13:48, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Any chance of, you know, fixing the article? It's been in this dismal unsourced state for literally years. Guy (Help!) 16:40, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not really relevant to the AFD. If the band is notable, it's notable whatever the state of the article here. The article appears not to have had any maintenance flags on it or discussion on the talk page regarding its quality since you last nominated it 2 years ago, which doesn't help if you're looking for someone to improve it - perhaps withdrawing the AFD and tagging it appropriately for improvement would be a good start.--Michig (talk) 17:19, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per Michig et al. Substantial articles/reviews in Billboard and New York Times are clear indicators of reliable sources to reach notability for a band. Rescue, clean up, and close. Bearian (talk) 13:03, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
