I've declined a {{db-band}} on this, as given how long it's been live and the number of different editors who've edited it I don't believe deletion would be wholly uncontroversial. However this is clearly not appropriate for Wikipedia; there's nothing even approaching a reliable source, and no indication that the band has any particular significance. ‑ Iridescent 08:17, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as CSD tagger; the article makes no assertion of notability and largely consists of a directory listing the band's members and albums, almost none of which have articles. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 12:47, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - They have been around for a long time with a lot of releases, but reliable and significant media attention has eluded them. All I can find are occasional fanzine/blog mentions (e.g. [1]), and minor directory entries (e.g. [2]). While searching you may find the residue of a fairly desperate type of amateur promotion in the early Internet era -- a few fans (or themselves) would namedrop the band in message board discussions about other people. That type of fan effort seems to be behind this WP article as well, given its reliance on red links and links that look blue but are actually to unreliable outside promotional sites. They're very underground, so much so that they don't have the notice required here. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:50, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
