Contested prod for a band for which I could not find any RSes to support notability. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:44, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Searching for info on the band I only found a few references, one isn't even about the band but an independent wrestler: [1], the other an interview with the head of the band's former record label where they are mentioned for a moment: [2]. I would says none of this shows how they meet WP:BAND. RickinBaltimore (talk) 16:49, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

responding to those sources in order, from the ridiculous to the OK (none strong)
these sources are not ragingly strong at all. my !vote has not changed, but it could if someone generates good content from decent sources. Jytdog (talk) 06:25, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment I can't tell if the several references Kvng cites are important or significant sources. They may all be glorified music blogs with little weight or influence. But I don't know for sure. If they do "save" this page they need to be incorporated with the article. Until that happens I am voting delete but will change with more convincing.

  • Weak Keep - I am saying this because the Exclaim! review, only.The Cross Bearer (talk) 04:13, 24 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Scrapes by WP:MUSIC with two releases on Trustkill Records and the sourcing given above (Exclaim is international coverage, and I agree that the case would be weaker without it). Chubbles (talk) 03:16, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep due to the improved sources of Exclaim and Noisecreep, reliable sources enable WP:GNG to be just passed. Atlantic306 (talk) 03:20, 10 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - enough reliable sources have been provided to just pass WP:BAND. The article gives enough information about the band's successes to prove it's notability. — Omni Flames (talk contribs) 06:18, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Whether or not this band satisfies WP:BAND is borderline; whether it meets the source guidelines is a matter of personal judgment, though it flat out fails all other notability criteria (no major albums, semi-notable record label, no awards, etc.). In light of this, deletion seems most appropriate. Colonel Wilhelm Klink (Complaints|Mistakes) 02:30, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
