~~article is about a seemingly unnotable band and does not link any sources. the article also at times has an promotional feel (probably most visible in the second paragraph).~~Gaismagorm (talk) 16:48, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I, Gaismagorm, have withdrawn this nomination as it has been brought to my attention to notability of the group as well as sources Gaismagorm (talk)
Keep - there are some sources in the external links section, but the AllMusic one is the only one which is independent. That said, there's a lot more out there - this from Trouser Press, for example, and many different articles which can be found through Newspapers.com (with a little patience for sorting through the ones which just mention the mythological figure). In addition, People (Babe the Blue Ox album) is very well sourced, and prong 5 of WP:NBAND (2 albums on a major label) is met. Hatman31 (talk) 00:45, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ah I see. you're probably right, this deletion was probably not a good idea after reading a bit more on them, as they also seem to have collabed with a few notable artists (unless im mistaken) Gaismagorm (talk) 11:20, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
how do I withdraw? Gaismagorm (talk) 11:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:WITHDRAWN says to strikethrough the original nomination text and add a note after it saying you withdraw the nomination. Hatman31 (talk) 16:34, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I wouldn't say they were entirely unnotable – I remember their name cropping up occasionally during the 1990s and they have something of a cult following. That's not enough to give them their own article, of course, but Hatman31 has found a few sources, and at worst I would redirect this to People (Babe the Blue Ox album) if there isn't enough for a band article. Agreed that the article as it stands is almost entirely OR and could probably be TNT'd. Richard3120 (talk) 01:21, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
