Article on a non-notable band. Fails the requirements of WP:NBAND and fails WP:GNG. There's a dead blog link and three links to related, minor recording companies; other than that, no coverage anywhere that I could find. RetiredDuke (talk) 22:59, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep have corrected the reference to the WikiProject Music reliable source Absolute Punk review shown here, but more needed so only a weak keep Atlantic306 (talk) 20:10, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete I see no WP:RS. The above-mentioned Absolute Punk has no evidence of an editorial process and seems to be accepting submissions from the general public. Fails WP:BAND, WP:GNG and WP:N otherwise.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:07, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I will trust Wiki Project Music's judgement on Absolutepunk.net since I won't pretend I know the source or its editorial process, but in any case we would need coverage in multiple reliable sources (per WP:GNG) to build an article on. An album review won't tell us the basics about the band itself, like members, history, discography, reception and such. We can only use it to source that the band released an album in 2008 named Old Stories and that the one author thought that it reflected certain characteristics of the band. Not enough coverage, in my opinion. RetiredDuke (talk) 23:15, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I couldn't find any other coverage of the band or their albums. --Michig (talk) 08:43, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
