- Comment How does it meet #7? A key element of #7 is also that they meet guidelines generally and that it can be verified. Boleyn (talk) 11:07, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The sources I saw at the Google link you provided were adverts or trivial mentions. Having toured several countries is not independently verified, and is not a sign of notability unless it can properly be verified as a national or international tour. Where they performed is relevant to - were they going round local youth clubs, or performing along with many other groups, or was it their own tour of proper venues?

Comment I can independently verify that Against The Current are touring in Taiwan [1]. The concert was selling tickets using the iBon machine in 7-11 convenience stores, and is sold out. Apparently the venue can host 1000 people [2]. Special:Contributions/Peterburk~enwiki Peterburk~enwiki (talk) 9:10, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

done with first album Iady391 | Talk to me here 20:32, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails both GNG and NBAND. Regarding the claim to NBAND #4, this requires "non-trivial coverage" of their international tour - the coverage is actually very trivial. Google shows no significant media coverage of the tour (or band) - just adverts and a few reviews on very minor blogs. Regarding the claim to NBAND #5, the band has not "released two or more albums on a major record label." They have released no albums and four EPs (though none of them were released on the major label because, as the article points out, they were only signed in March). Regarding the claim to NBAND #12, while a TV appearance appears to have happened, the Twitter links don't prove the band to be the "featured subject" or prove the appearance was in a "substantial broadcast segment". The Twitter links alone also fail WP:V. N4 (talk) 03:49, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have archived the current page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Iady391/sandbox/ATC which can be reused when their second album is released. Iady391 | Talk to me here 13:27, 6 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete pure promotion, there's no claim to notability in the article, just another band, the toures were all opening/accompanying other bigger acts, fails all criteria of WP:NBAND, and Facebook and Twitter is not really the kind of sources accepted here.
