Other than this mention in passing, and once you separate this Scottish band from the Canadian one of the same name, there doesn't appear to be any substantive discussion of it in reliable published sources. Doesn't appear to automatically qualify under WP:BAND, and not enough material to qualify it under WP:GNG. All three references given here are about a performer named Will Oldham who is accompanied during some of his performance by this band-- these are all actually about Mr. Oldham, not "Harem Scarem".

Delete. I almost voted keep based upon confusion with the canadian band of the same name. Refs are intertwined on google but anything worthwhile isn't about this band. Szzuk (talk) 08:12, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is a short biography at AllMusic. Added as a ref to the article. Gab4gab (talk) 17:45, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - I'm a bit lukewarm on this, but coverage in AllMusic, Uncut, and the other sources currently cited are probably enough for a basic stub article under WP:NBAND #1 and #7. There is more background on the band in (brief) reviews of their albums, such as [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. On the other hand, the nominator is correct that a lot of their media notice is about how they backed other people. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:40, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
