• Weak delete, their first label Catskills Records could seemingly be notable, but their second label was distinctly non-notable. So this falls a little short. Geschichte (talk) 13:56, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
  • @Geschichte: the notability of the labels a band was signed to doesn't really matter. You have non-notable artists signed to major labels and notable independent artists for example. BuySomeApples (talk) 19:48, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
• Keep There is enough coverage to meet GNG. An AllMusic biography,[1], Exclaim!,[2] a BBC article,[3] NME,[4] Drowned In Sound,[5][6] and ZapBang Magazine,[7] plus other interviews and local coverage which I used to flesh out the page. Weird thing is that the page already had info from a lot of these sources on it but not the sources. I think whoever made the page didn't really understand Wikipedia. The notability of the labels they were signed to doesn't matter for the band's notability. BuySomeApples (talk) 19:48, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment since voting, I've found other sources like Hot Press,[8] and added them to the page. BuySomeApples (talk) 20:19, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep as multiple reliable sources coverage has been identified in this discussion including the BBC, Allmusic staff written bio, Drowned in Sound and NME and others so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 01:38, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
