Fur Eel[edit]

Article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and not nearly enough strong reliable source coverage to claim WP:GNG in lieu. This is so poorly updated that an album "expected to be released in the spring of 2012" is still "upcoming" six years after 2012 has already passed into the rear view mirror, and the only genuinely plausible notability claim here ("featured on CBC Radio") is referenced only to their own PR bumf on Sonicbids, not to any reliable source verification that they actually got any national network airplay. And the sources here aren't enough to get them over GNG, either: three are primary sources that cannot support notability at all; one is a university student newspaper, which is a class of sourcing that NMUSIC makes a special point of deprecating as invalid support for musical notability; and three are just local coverage in their own home region which is nowhere near enough to make them "the most prominent of the local scene of a city" under NMUSIC #7. So the strongest real evidence of potential notability here is a single article in an alt-weekly from Calgary -- but even it just verifies one show in one Calgary bar in 2011, not anything that would actually pass NMUSIC's touring criterion. So there's no strong notability claim here, and not enough solid sourcing to carry an article. Bearcat (talk) 21:55, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A hard-working band that also participated in a contest in Canada. But, unfortunately, nothing that would meet the relevant criteria. -The Gnome (talk) 11:59, 12 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
