Poorly sourced article about a band, with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no significant reliable source coverage. The references here are a Blogspot blog, a Q&A interview in a webzine, a routine directory entry and a (currently but possibly not permanently) dead link whose URL directly indicates that it's also a Q&A interview. These are not sources that can support notability under our reliable sourcing requirements: Q&A interviews can be used for supplementary verification of facts in an article that's already passed GNG on better sources, but cannot bring the GNG in their own right because they represent the subject talking about themselves, and blogs and directories count for nothing at all. In truth this is technically speediable or proddable, but this is a followup recreation after the first attempt was prodded. Bearcat (talk) 19:40, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
