Article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and no strong reliable source coverage. This is a band just formed this year by two guys who are known as actors rather than as musicians, but whose WP:BLPs are not properly sourcing that they even pass WP:NACTOR for their acting (they're depending far too strongly on blogs and facebooks, and not nearly enough on reliable sources) -- so we cannot hand the band an NMUSIC #6 pass just because they have two members with standalone BLPs. The only other notability claim here is "got X number of streams on Spotify for a song", which satisfies no Wikipedia inclusion whatsoever. And for sourcing, all we have here is one blurb on one clickbait "new media" website that is not an acceptable reliable source -- and even if it were, it still takes more than just one source to pass GNG. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when they ever do actually have an NMUSIC pass, but nothing here is an NMUSIC pass today. Bearcat (talk) 23:46, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Nom's excellent summation works for me. Wikipedia is not for wannabe garage bands, even if they're formed by bit-part alleged actors. Nha Trang ^Allons! 20:39, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Weak delete. Sourcing seems a bit thin to warrant a standalone article at this time. I would be fine with redirecting this to Dylan Minnette since existing coverage refers to this act as "Dylan Minnette's band" and it's mentioned within his article. gongshow talk 22:33, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
