The Shroud of Gaia[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article with a heavily promotional tone, about a band with no particularly strong claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC and relying almost exclusively on WP:PRIMARYSOURCES. (The only non-primary source, in fact, is an event listing on a smalltown radio station's local community calendar, so even that reference still fails to pass the "substantial coverage" test.) I would actually have speedied or prodded this instead of taking it here — it's really, truly that bad — but there's already a declined prod lurking in the article's edit history. As always, I'm willing to withdraw this nomination if their notability claim and/or the quality of referencing can be improved upon, but as written, this simply is not a keepable article in its current state.

Delete. Additionally, that one independent reference fails WP:GNG due to only mentioning the artist in passing. Gm545 (talk) 04:02, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I cannot find any evidence that these guys meet the guidelines for inclusion set out at WP:BAND or the WP:GNG. — sparklism ^hey! 07:53, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
