Fails WP:BAND. This is a band whose album was never released. Most of the article depends on sourcing from the memoir of the guitarist, a WP:PRIMARY source. Popcornfud (talk) 13:33, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - They also have a song article at "Tearing My Soul Apart" which uses the many of the same sources in the same fashion. If the band article is kept, the song article should be redirected to them. Or if the band article is deleted, I don't see much reason for retaining the song article even though it (barely) charted. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 12:54, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I have made improvements to the article since its nomination. There are now more secondary sources to establish notability and a reduction in the use of the autobiography source to balance things out better. Their album may be unreleased but the band still released a single that made a chart appearance. I would support a redirect of the song article to the band page, which would give it additional sources relating to the single's reception etc. Ajsmith141 (talk) 13:31, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - A redirection of the song article has been completed and some material from it has been moved across to the Low article. Ajsmith141 (talk) 19:38, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - After the improvement of the article and redirect of their one song by Ajsmith141 (see above), I think the band has enough notability for an article. They generated some informative coverage in reliable media, though it is largely pre-buzz from when they formed and then "what ever happened to..." stuff after they accomplished nothing but one hit single. I also recommend moving the article to Low (English band) and moving the current Low (band) to Low (American band), though that discussion can take place later. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:15, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per WP:HEY as the article has been significantly improved since nomination with the addition of references to significant coverage in a number of UK newspapers that together show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:42, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per WP:HEY. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 05:55, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
