A band that had one clearly notable member, for sure — but never actually released the one album that it was supposed to release, released one track, and then disbanded. I don't see any notability independent of its notable member. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 13:02, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: Seems interesting and notable to me. This was definitely covered in the press. 13:08, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- Keep The band's prolificness is irrelevent. It doesn't matter whether they produced 1 song or 100 songs. What does matter is that the band received significant coverage from multiple national-level third-party sources. The band is notable. -HeartSWild (talk) 16:31, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- But is it notable independent of its one notable member? (I see no argument advanced that any of its other members are themselves notable.) If not, then the band itself should not be considered notable. If President Obama played on a semi-professional basketball team, even for one day, I'm sure that that basketball team will all of a sudden get lots, lots, and lots of coverage. That still would not make that team notable. --Nlu (talk) 16:05, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. MTV and Allmusic coverage indicates notability. Should perhaps be trimmed and merged as a section into the John 5 article, but that can be discussed elsewhere.--Michig (talk) 16:51, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I don't see "multiple" nontrivial coverage to establish notability per WP:Music, only one to speak of being mtv.com. Merge into John 5 (guitarist). ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 11:10, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
