No assertion of notability per WP:NMUSIC. Releases aren't major label, no evidence of WP:CHART, cursory search didn't turn up any good WP:RS for the band. Teemu08 (talk) 20:31, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only WP:NMUSIC criterion they can really hope to pass is #1 — but the sources present here, while not terrible ones, aren't enough to clear NMUSIC #1 all by themselves if they're all we can do, and I can't find anything better either: even on a ProQuest search to find older coverage more contemporaneous to their period of activity, I still couldn't find anything but routine concert listings in Vancouver's local media (and irrelevant text matches on the C.S. Lewis novel, a Joni Mitchell song or a visual artist named Angela Dawntreader.) And we can't check off #11 just because the article claims that the band got playlisted on CBC Radio 3, either — the claim is completely unverifiable, because literally every single aspect of R3's old website that was once helpful in establishing or supporting NMUSIC notability for a band or musician (like the ability to check old playlogs or R3-30 charts to verify whether they ever really played a song or not) was thrown in the digital trashcan when it got swallowed up by the larger CBC Music website. It's not the claim to passing NMUSIC that gets a band into Wikipedia, it's the quality of the referencing that can be shown to properly support that the claim to passing NMUSIC is true — but the sourcing shown here isn't enough, and I can't find anything better.
