Dubious notability. Claims #1 hits but I don't know what chart that could possibly be as it certainly isn't Billboard. Also claims awards which are of no notability whatsoever as they turn up no reliable sources. Article is a huge infodump without a single source found; "The Perrys" + various keywords turned up no reliable sources whatsoever, further asserting the non-notability of the award wins.

- Keep. I'm also not sure about the awards or #1 hits, but they have 13 albums listed at Allmusic, and coverage wasn't difficult to find: Billboard, Harlan Daily Enterprise, Atlanta Journal/Constitution, Cuba Free Press, Calhoun Times, USA Today.--Michig (talk) 06:25, 15 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Well-known, well-regarded, and prolific musical group with multiple, easily verifiable (eg [1]) award nominations for quite notable awards. Nominator's complete inability to perform functional Google searches coupled with aggressive deletion posturing is clearly disruptive. Article needs cleanup, though.

- Strong Keep The Perry's are considered by many to be one of the premiere groups in Christian music. They are notable on several levels. The Dove Award win alone are the Grammy Awards for Christian music! --Canyouhearmenow 03:13, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete They obviously exist, but based on the severe lack of sources; there's not a single source listed in the article. Ga Be 19 03:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Doesn't matter that there's not a single source listed in the article. They have been shown to exist. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:36, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If they have been shown to exist, sources should come easy. Looking at this article, it's really hard to know they're notability or even if they exist. Ga Be 19 01:45, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
