Poorly referenced article about a band with no properly verifiable claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The strongest notability claim here is airplay and/or charting on individual radio stations -- but NMUSIC #2 (charting) requires an IFPI-certified national chart on the order of Billboard, not individual radio station charts, and #11 (airplay) requires a national network on the order of CBC Music, not individual radio stations. There's just no other real notability claim being attempted above and beyond "they existed", the only footnote in the entire article is to their own self-published Facebook profile, and even on a ProQuest search I can find absolutely no WP:GNG-worthy coverage beyond their hometown media market.

Info - Note to closer for soft deletion: While this discussion appears to have no quorum, it is NOT eligible for soft deletion because it has been previously PROD'd (via summary).

Delete - Sourcing remains moribund with no indication that the band passes WP:NBAND. The "highlights" are unsourced and don't look all too prestigious regardless. Anarchyte (talk) 13:45, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
