This band does not appear not have garnered any significant coverage in independent reliable sources, nor does it seem to have met any of the other criteria of WP:BAND. ^Bongo_matic 23:29, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Very strong keep great band still rising and have 2 albums out through Sumerian. Sumerian Records have Bizzy Bone and Asking Alexandria on their roster, both these artists have achieved worldwide recognition and fame in the media and as to say for After the Burial's part, they have taken tour with several groups even bigger than those two. They are in Revolver, have a music video currently in development and are by the sorts have garnered a good fan base for fans of prog metal and/or metalcore alike. Deleting this article is out of the question. -- GunMetal Angel 10:12, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep "Seymour Duncan" the world famous guitar-pickup brand, is proud to have the guitarists Trent Hafdahl and Justin Lowe of After The Burial under their wings, along with many other artists like: Johnny Christ, Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance from Avenged Sevenfold, Bruce Kulick and Paul Stanley from Kiss, Mark Morton and Will Adler from Lamb of God, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and last but not least Slash Hudson from Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver, just to mention a few.

I see no reason in deleting this article, the band is well known worldwide for their technical metal music, very much equal to Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya and Periphery (Sumerian Records), and is still growing. - ChristianTJ 17:00, 2 May 2011 (UTC +1 hour) Edit: 18:44, 2 May 2011 (UTC + 1 hour)

• Delete - Lacks coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. Guitar pickup endorsements don't constitute coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 14:01, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Note, an article lacking sources does not mean the article is not notable, it just means no one has yet taken time to look through and establish information with the sources included to the article, Wikipedia is a work in progress after all. -- GunMetal Angel 05:59, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply I agree. But I don't see any sources and all indications are that this is a band that is still in the up and coming rather than arrived stage of their career. Noi prejudice to recreation when they do get the coverage but I just don;t see it now. -- Whpq (talk) 10:52, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. With two albums on Sumerian they should meet the inclusion criteria, but there doesn't seem to be much coverage in reliable sources. There is an Allmusic bio and a review, so while there would ideally be more sources than that, there is at least something on which to base the article.--Michig (talk) 20:50, 6 May 2011 (UTC) Note also the Billboard chart placings.--Michig (talk) 20:51, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Keep - A great band, known worldwide, has 3 released albums, and here's more sources to keep the page up: Encyclopaedia Metallum: The Metal Archives - After the Burial and last.fm-After the Burial.--(Snkmad (talk) 18:04, 9 May 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Unfortunately neither Encyclopaedia Metallum nor last.fm are reliable sources.--Michig (talk) 19:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
