Does not meet WP:BAND, unsigned and appears to have coverage from only local sources. Also appears to have been created by a COI editor and subject to periodic COI editing from others. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:20, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians and Michigan. Shellwood (talk) 16:46, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It's a close call because they have absolutely been noticed locally, with multiple awards from their hometown radio station and occasional local news pieces: [1], [2]. Unfortunately, the radio station awards are not "major" per the requirements at WP:NBAND, and softball interviews and local gig announcements do not qualify for WP:SIGCOV. Otherwise they are only visible in the usual social media and self-upload services. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:28, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (barely): Lots of promo sources, but I actually tiink these two sources [3], [4] pass GNG. // Timothy :: talk 07:04, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There's WP:SIGCOV in the interview that User:TimothyBlue cited (note that both of the articles linked are the same, with the second being a condensed version of the full interview in the first). That source, localspins.com, appears to be a regional publication. Moreover, the band has been covered by an NPR affiliate (https://www.wmuk.org/arts-more/2015-09-03/the-crane-wives-shoot-for-national-recognition) and a PBS show (https://www.pbs.org/video/the-crane-wives-sudlia/). voorts (talk/contributions) 22:16, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, the NPR source is solid, the rest are ok-ish, but just give us notability Oaktree b (talk) 02:39, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the newspaper coverage, coverage from NPR and a show on PBS so that WP:GNG is passed and deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:25, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep amount of reliable local coverage plus NPR affiliate plus PBS show plus a positive blurb related to a Tiny Desk contest on NPR [5]. Skynxnex (talk) 21:04, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
