References seem to point to non-notable sources and an interview. A WP:BEFORE didn't seem to reveal much more. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 03:46, 30 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Saying that the article cites "non-notable sources" seems a little bit overboard - there are links to videos of the band performing at Hash Bash in front of 10,000 people, and an article on mlive.com stating that they performed at Hash Bash in front of 10,000 people - a search of mlive revealed that in 2012 they had a readership of over 46,000 subscribers. There is also a link to the ballot page for the 2017 Jammies, where their 2 nominations are listed. There is also an article in the Holland Sentinel, the newspaper covering northern Michigan, with a readership of over 10,500 Daily 17,000 Sundays, not counting the online readership. There is also a link to the Relix Jam Band charts, where they are currently listed. There is also an article in localspins, and an alexa search for localspins.com shows that they receive thousands of visitors every week.

I added several more references to Cosmic Knot wikipedia page today, and hopefully that will help to dissuade any fears that anyone might have regarding creation or inclusion of this wikipedia page. I don't understand what the problem is regarding this band having a wikipedia page - they are an actual band, that has been around for a couple years, that has recorded an album, and it is doing well on the jam band radio charts, and they have received awards for their music as well.

Delete or maybe merge to Tom Wall (guitarist). Not enough coverage in reliable sources to establish notability, and no other criterion of WP:NBAND appears to be met. A merge to Wall's article is a possibility, although I'm not convinced of his notability. --Michig (talk) 08:16, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - nothing indicates this is anything more than a decent local band. Not notable for WP purposes.--Rpclod (talk) 13:19, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this article seems perfectly fine to me, and is better documented than some more "famous" bands that I have seen on WP. Jefstevens (talk) 05:43, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't see anything coming close to meeting our sourcing requirements here. Delete as non-notable. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:46, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
