Non-notable band, fails WP:MUSIC. Released one album. Source that's supposed to show the "critical acclaim" for their album just says the album will be streamed. Yintan 23:35, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources are from user submitted sites, social media, and the band's own press releases. No evidenced of third party independent coverage or notability. ShelbyMarion (talk) 15:25, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the band's history on AllMusic considered independent coverage: [1]? --Moscow Connection (talk) 17:30, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes it is, but not automatically. When AllMusic was primarily a print publication it had tight criteria for inclusion. Not so much these days, evolving since it began partnering with Rovi/TiVo database for its content. While the site continues to have independent editorial oversight, their standards have dipped to list bands whose only criteria is that they have produced a product(s) that is offered for retail distribution. A band can be listed that otherwise does not meet a single qualification per WP:MUSIC. AllMusic entries as a reference need to be assessed on a case by case basis.

Delete. I was looking at the altpress.com and allmusic.com sources for a bit, but I decided that they were based on press releases by the band (and that altpress.com's reliability was also in question, seeing as it seems to exist to promote little-known bands). Thus, fails WP:MUSIC. Icebob99 (talk) 14:54, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
