Sebastian Block & Band

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Advertorially toned article about a band, who have a potentially valid claims to passing WP:NMUSIC for touring, but no indication of reliable source coverage about them to support it. The references here are mainly to primary sources and the few things that might have been actual media coverage are unrecoverable dead links, making it impossible to verify whether they constituted substantive coverage of the band or just namechecks of its existence. So the sourcing simply isn't where it needs to be, and there's nothing stated in the body text that's compelling enough to grant them a presumption of notability in the absence of better sourcing -- and for an article that was created in 2011, the fact that neither the sourcing nor the substance have been touched since 2011 doesn't augur well for actual notability either. Also conflict of interest, as the creator's username corresponds to the name of the band's record label. Bearcat (talk) 17:57, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
