Zero sourcing found. Kept in 2007 because of reviews that are now 404 and don't seem to be from reputable sites. Also including the album. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 01:37, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Found a non-404 review here: [1] and a mention here: [2] (he says they disbanded in 2007 so maybe we can source & add something about that and save the article?). The albums probably don't deserve separate articles regardless. ObsidianPotato (talk) 03:24, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure Fringe Underground is an RS, as they don't seem to have any editors. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 04:37, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This list [3] from May 2004 very briefly mentions Slunt. Not really a source for any of the current content but it at least kinda confirms they existed. ObsidianPotato (talk) 10:45, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A Wordpress blog is definitely not a reliable source. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:14, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Found one more [5] by what is I think a KBUE magazine? ObsidianPotato (talk) 15:46, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That site's content appears to be user submitted. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 15:57, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant Delete - I am familiar with this band and saw them live back in the day, and I can attest that they had some underground credibility at the time. Alas, I am surprised to find that they attracted very little mainstream notice. Searching is tough because the band's name is also a purported slang term, but a search in conjunction with the names of band members also reveals little. For the band, I can find nothing beyond the partial and/or unreliable reviews mentioned in the discussion above; note that singer Abby Gennet has a little media notice for her later activities but the band is only ever mentioned briefly. Also note that they have two album articles at Get a Load of This (album) and Slunt (EP), which should at least be redirected in the event that the band's article survives. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:45, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral: On one hand, I agree that the article is really hard to source and the notability is questionable/borderline. Objectively, however, I can't see what changed since the 2007 discussion, and so as per WP:NTEMP by deleting it now we would essentially be disputing that decision. If the two published albums made the band notable back then, it should also be notable now. PS: The two album articles - Get_a_Load_of_This (album), Slunt (EP) - fail WP:NALBUM and so they should be deleted/merged, and redirected into the main article.

Weak Delete: Changing my vote as per discussion - Even though it seems kinda close with the two released albums, I think it's unlikely sufficient coverage/sources exist to justify this article. ObsidianPotato (talk) 18:14, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What changed since 2007 is that the notability rules for musicians at WP:NBAND have gotten tougher, and it is now necessary to prove that the band got more than a few blog-like reviews and gig announcements. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:22, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
