Poorly sourced article about a band, whose only stated notability claim is that they and their music exist. As always, existence is not an automatic inclusion guarantee on Wikipedia in and of itself — to actually get in here, a band needs to be reliably sourceable as having attained one more more quantifiable achievements that pass WP:NMUSIC, but the only footnotes present here at all are their own self-published social networking content (Last.fm, vk.com) and a Q&A interview on a non-notable WordPress blog in which the band members are speaking about themselves in the first person. None of these are notability-supporting sources, but the article claims nothing about them that's "inherently" notable enough to earn the "keep and flag for reference improvement" treatment.

Delete - The current first footnote, an article in a publication called Fake Music Magazine, appears to be a reasonably reliable outlet for their country's music, but otherwise I can find little else in any language beyond self-produced social media and routine industry listings. It's either too soon for this band or the article is an inappropriate attempt at promotion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:46, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
