Non-notable band. I happened upon this article in my patrol of Category:Ireland articles needing attention. Per the concerns raised in a previous SPEEDY request (and the tags on the talkpage/etc), there is zero indication that this band meets the relevant notability criteria. In terms of WP:NBAND, the band doesn't appear to have charted anywhere. Ever. (Certainly there is no record of any chart placement in Ireland, or any awards or similar). In terms of WP:SIGCOV, the single Irish Examiner article (the ONLY ref in the article) was the first and ONLY time that the subject was covered in any depth by that newspaper. And, any coverage in the (other) Irish newspapers of record, like the Irish Times or Irish Independent are trivial passing mentions. And barely even that to be honest. As clear a case of why we have WP:TOOSOON guidelines as any I've seen. (The COI/SPA/PROMO overtones in the article's creation are also concerning). Guliolopez (talk) 20:14, 25 June 2020 (UTC)

• Comment Is this notable? It's not that long, but it's still an album review. But aside from this, I did not found anything reliable other than the standard unreliable sites like Discogs, Facebook, Amazon, the site of their record label and stuff where the words appear separately.
