Last AfD was no consensus. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shoes This High (band) I'm still not convinced WP:BAND is met despite some more sources found last AfD. LibStar (talk) 02:16, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Trying to add more references to the page right now. I don't believe the references in the article is enough right now, but I would lean keep based on the print sources in the other AfD. By the way, shouldn't this AfD be moved to "Shoes This High (2nd nomination)"? RoseCherry64 (talk) 18:18, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I went looking for potentially useful sources and I found enough independent ones significantly covering the band. Here's everything I went through, not comprehensive, just what I could find on a quick search for sources.

Note that I included sources that are very very casual mentions, this is just to note that some sources I could access but aren't free access do not cover this group in detail. RoseCherry64 (talk) 20:56, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
