The Deadlines[edit]

They are not notable in the least. A standard google test doesn't work, but if you search for the band's name and its lead singer, you'll get barely over 100 hits, and not one notable publication/3rd party source. All the hits are either (1) social media and video links, (2) mirrors and spam websites sites with information from this Wikipedia article, or (3) questionable unreliable sources. The article's talk page includes an admission that the lead vocalist was the main editor of this article which is probably the only reason why it exists at all.

Delete at best for now as I'm not finding anything convincingly better aside from 1 music encyclopedia, simply nothing else better. SwisterTwister talk 22:43, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Two albums on Tooth & Nail arguably gives a pass of WP:NMUSIC. I didn't find a lot of coverage but there is a bio and review at Allmusic, and a couple of reviews on crossrhythms.co.uk. --Michig (talk) 08:12, 23 April 2016 (UTC) The band also has an entry in Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music ([1]). --Michig (talk) 08:22, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
