I've declined a speedy for copyvio as the other site states that is a copy of this article. I also declined a speedy for spam as I didn't thing it promo enough for that. However, despite the presence of one member of the group with his own article, I am uncertain about whether this group is notable enough for an article of its own (and slightly suspicious because a mention of a possible early 2017 reunion...). Not an easy name to Google - I used -"scared of horses" and -"eddie lin" to eliminate two irrelevancies, but still found a lot of stuff that referred to empty aircraft rather than a band.

Comment @Peridon: the Facebook post was written five days ago, but the article was created today. Wikishovel (talk) 13:45, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I didn't notice that, and went by the wording. But the intention obviously was that it become the WP article as they were including the attribution in advance - I don't think I've come across that before. Peridon (talk) 23:24, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the article itself makes the case that the band is not notable. Hairhorn (talk) 14:14, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Josh Pyke. Lacking decent sources. May have had rotation on Triple J [1] (satisfying WP:MUSIC)but better sourcing is needed. duffbeerforme (talk) 08:39, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a bad idea. There is only a passing mention there, though. Peridon (talk) 13:01, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
