WP:TOOSOON article about a band not yet reliably sourced as passing WP:NMUSIC. The only significant notability claim being made here is the existence of one album, which is not an automatic notability freebie in and of itself as NMUSIC requires two albums, not just one, if you're aiming for "the music exists" as the notability target — but the sourcing is not strong enough to get them over WP:GNG in lieu of having to pass any of NMUSIC's achievement-based criteria either: four of the seven footnotes are unreliable sources that aren't support for notability at all (an event calendar listing, a Q&A interview in which they're answering questions about themselves in the first person on a blog, two more very short blurbs on other blogs) and a fifth comes from a single-market local commercial radio station -- there are just two footnotes here (Kerrang and Exclaim) that actually count as valid GNG-worthy support for notability, which isn't enough. Obviously no prejudice against recreation if and when they have a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it than this, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt them from having to have a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it than this.

Keep I've added several new sources, including a review from Clash, and feel notability is now established per WP:GNG. NemesisAT (talk) 15:04, 23 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Meets WP:GNG by coverage in Exclaim!, Clash, and Toronto Times. Does need to pass NMUSIC's other criteria if sigcov in multiple sources exists... and, IMHO, the sourcing is more than ample. Samsmachado (talk) 21:33, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
