Asunder (Canadian band)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Several searches did not turn up anything relevant, unsourced, unlikely to pass notability guidelines. Even a search of the supposed single came up with nothing on YouTube, which makes me begin to wonder if this band even existed in the first place. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 06:15, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm unable to find any coverage for this group; appears to fail WP:GNG and WP:BAND. gongshow talk 08:58, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: not helped by having the same name as Asunder (American band), but there literally appears to be nothing out there about this group, which would certainly suggest they fail WP:BAND. They certainly didn't chart on any chart in the UK, not even the independent chart. Shelf Life Records do exist, but they started in 1996, the year the band supposedly broke up. Article author's entire contribution to Wikipedia was the six edits they made to create this article, and they were blocked six hours after joining Wikipedia.

Delete per above; probably a hoax given that the only results I can find are apparently either this page or its mirrors. Everymorning (talk) 02:10, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:RS and notability. DaveApter (talk) 15:42, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I can confirm that they existed, as I'm able to find one isolated radio station playlog confirming that a campus radio station in Ottawa once played a five-song set ("Nevergreen", "My People Shooting Hat", "Electric Butter", "Grim" and "Stabilize") of songs from Slower than Fast. But that doesn't pass WP:NMUSIC — if you're going for radio playlisting as the notability claim, then you need national networks and not local campus radio stations — and if that's the only evidence of their existence that I can find, then they don't pass WP:GNG. I'll caution that inability to find a song on YouTube is not in and of itself evidence that the song or the band never existed at all — the band existed, they just didn't accomplish anything notable.

- @Bearcat: Just to clarify, so you don't misinterpret my comments, I did not say there was any evidence that the band does not exist, literally all I meant was that I was unsure and became suspicious that it may not exist. - CHAMPION ^{(talk) (contributions) (logs)} 09:33, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
