This has been around for ever without a single ref. The text seems to provide no special claim to notability, and as it stands it fails WP:GNG Velella ^{Velella Talk} 21:31, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete per WP:A7 --Non-Dropframe _talk 23:03, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG and WP:NM. --Jersey92 (talk) 01:37, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The founder seems more notable than the band, but there's still coverage. They seem to have an extensive catalog, and I've located several reviews of their work: [1], [2], [3], [4]. Also a few interviews and such: [5], [6], [7]. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 04:35, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Any significant coverage in WP:RS? Also the article says many of their recordings were self-released. --Jersey92 (talk) 14:49, 3 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea about the history of the band, and it's not easy to find facts online. But they got reviewed by Spin, CMJ, Tiny Mix Tapes, and Punknews.org, which is enough for WP:BAND #1. I don't know what a "more important indie label" is, but they apparently released albums on Relapse Records and Alternative Tentacles, both of which I would think satisfy #5. Also, this is perhaps contentious, but they seem to have originated or had a hand in originating powerviolence, a genre (see [8] from Vice; also [9] from The Quietus and [10] from San Antonio Current). That would maybe satisfy #7. They have no hope of satisfying the other criteria, but they seem to be well-known and respected within their niche. If you're wanting an article in Rolling Stone about their history, no, I can't find that. I can do more digging to find articles about their history, but I don't think these are available online.

Weak keep simply because of the listed sources. SwisterTwister talk 06:47, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep per sources provided - Notability does seem to be there by a bare minimum!. –Davey2010^Talk 23:51, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Discussion was "relisted" twice by @Esquivalience: on Sept. 15--the first listed it on the daily log for that day, the second one commented it out. Fixed now. --Finngall ^talk 07:33, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Coverage identified is sufficient to establish notability. --Michig (talk) 10:23, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
