Keep described in numerous independent sources, issued four albums, passes WP:NBAND. More sources have now been added to the article.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 02:31, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability: The subject is only mentioned in brief to state they're performing (trivial coverage) in the The Age articles used as references (the best of the sources used). The "Brown Noise Unit", a website self described as "Media/News/Publishing" powered by WordPress and appearing almost forum-esque in nature, isn't a major publication and is questionable. Unearthed's current incarnation basically consists of a music streaming service. The National Library of Australia happens to have one of their albums in its collection, but their stated goal is to have a "comprehensive collection", not one notable to the standards of Wikipedia. A local radio station (i.e. Progressive Broadcasting Service, PBS 106.7FM) interview doesn't really help, nor does a twitter source (WP:NOYT), or the official website of the band. Albums: The number of albums they've released doesn't help notability unless they're through a major record label, which doesn't appear to be the case (I'm unfamiliar with "Somersault"). Lastly: If the subject does meet notability criteria, it does so rather weakly.—Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 17:10, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete if there's simply no better improvement. SwisterTwister talk 20:24, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, barely - Somersault Music appears to be a slightly real label (also released Jimi Hocking) and there are sources. Pretty borderline though, I must admit - David Gerard (talk) 19:59, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Article has been significantly enhanced since official AFD notice. Somersault Music features a number of bands, including Australian music veteran Jimi Hocking who featured on one Kinematic album. Mentions in 'The Age' and 'Sydney Morning Herald' include detailed reviews by senior music writers. Featuring of band in North America demonstrates notability. - MagpieDean (talk) 01:41, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
