Archers Rise

Non-notable band lacking GHITs and GNEWs of substance. Article references do not appear to be sufficient to support notability. reddogsix (talk) 20:06, 11 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only matches I can find for this band (including the article's current sources) are for social media pages and non-notable blogs. Subject does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND at this time. Gong show 04:17, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - As the page's creator, and someone who's familiar with WP policy, I wouldn't have created the page if I thought their notability was lacking. I'll toss out a few reasons:

Producer association. The band has had both of their projects produced by very notable individuals, Jeff Schneeweis (Number One Gun) and Jessy Ribordy. Just do a Google search on those gents.
The frontman and founder of the band was the lead guitarist of Falling Up for four years, from start-up to its peak. In the realm of Christian rock, that band is far beyond notable, and was a game-changer for the industry.
Archers Rise shared the stage with musicians such as Disciple, Linda Perry, and others.
They were publicly supported by several well-known individuals (see page) during the funding of their upcoming album, which was completely fan-funded.
They've played on the Warped Tour.

Overall, I feel that the band has achieved enough status and notability, at least on the USA's West Coast for this page. —Maktesh ^(talk) 18:50, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
