Delete - I tagged this page earlier but, was deemed notable. Mlpearc (open channel) 07:21, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Two albums on Blast First would satisfy WP:NMUSIC. They may not have received much coverage since the dawn of the internet but there is likely to be print coverage around from the era that they were putting out records. --Michig (talk) 09:21, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Of the two releases on Blast First, the EP only has three tracks, two of which were also on the later full album. So it's arguable that only the full album release would be relevant towards WP:NMUSIC, not quite meeting it. I agree that there's likely pre-internet coverage out there somewhere - the challenge is locating it to satisfy the coverage for WP:GNG. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 06:18, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake - I had thought both albums had been released on Blast First. Yes, Google is often a poor guide to pre-internet notability. --Michig (talk) 07:51, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two regular albums. one album on Mute Records. No reason for deletion. --RivetHeadCulture (talk) 12:17, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with offer to userfy. Only one album was on a major label, so does not satisfy WP:NMUSIC. I believe that pre-internet references likely exists - but until they can be tracked down so as to satisfy WP:V, this does not currently meet WP:GNG. Potential userfication will allow for further work to locate any such sources. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:20, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
