Aside from the one currently listed review from an unfamiliar website "The Phantom Tollbooth", my searches certainly found nothing obviously better than [https://www.google.com/search?tbm=bks&q=Aletheian+Crutch+Lebanon+Pennsylvania+heavy+metal+music+band#q=Aletheian+Crutch+Lebanon+Pennsylvania+heavy+metal+music+band&start=0 3 pages of browsers results] including a metal-underground.com link which apparently never actually appears but from the preview, it said that they had signed a record label deal with Ironclad, and my only other successful searches were [http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Aletheian/6145/ a sputnikmusic.com page] and one article at [http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/aletheian-signs-with-ironclad-recordings/ blabbermouth.net] (I'll note terrorizer.com and metalhammer.com also found nothing apparently). Although there is an Allmusic biography and one review there, I'm simply not sure if all this is enough for a better solidly notable and improvable article. Overall there's simply nothing to suggest a better notable and improvable article and that's not surprising, considering it seems they're not considerably active and otherwise outstandingly known.

@SwisterTwister, their drummer Travis Turner has a podcast where he brings up his band multiple times, and I'm sure there are more references to be found. Metalworker14 (Yo) 4:02, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

  • Keep: This group passes BAND by GNG, where it has a biography at AllMusic ([http://www.allmusic.com/artist/aletheian-mn0000994537/biography here]) and a review ([http://www.allmusic.com/album/dying-vine-mw0000785420 here]), while their album was reviewed by Cross Rhythms ([http://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/products/Aletheian/Dying_Vine/78572/ here]), and yet another album was reviewed by The Phantom Tollbooth ([http://www.tollbooth.org/2003/reviews/aletheian.html here]), where they are mentioned on the CCM sources list. They are even mentioned in Christian Metal: History, Ideology, Scene by Marcus Moberg ([https://books.google.com/books?id=aXQpBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA183&lpg=PA183&dq=Aletheian+metal+band&source=bl&ots=KVeFvbugtP&sig=xgE_OwAHCkzDp5lxhhHT5FlOBAE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiswMWJ5-vJAhXLHh4KHXYZDdo4ChDoAQhDMAc#v=onepage&q=Aletheian%20metal%20band&f=false here]).The Cross Bearer (talk) 01:34, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Keep meet WP:NBAND and WP:GNG per the multiple independent reliable sources I found with a quick google search and the reviews. Wikigyt@lk to M£ 19:02, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

:*Keep: there is no sensible reason to delete this article. However, it needs better sources, so let's work on that goal instead. Garagepunk66 (talk) 00:35, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
